Brainworm. Earworm. Songworm. By any such name, all are equally irritating.
Repetitive. Stuck.
Unwanted.
Catchy in a negative way.
Unlike the urban dictionary definition, my brainworms can be words only w/o melody---I can get a brainworm, usually between 2 am and 4 am ---pithy disturbing phrases like "if only".....or "what if." Then my brain begins to fill in the blank over and over again. Thought after thought.
Trying to capture & replace those "brainy earworms" of thoughts (2 Corinthians 10:5) can lead to a musical interlude earworm melody to full blown songworm---not something like "Come Thou Fount" but more like zumba songs. Songs that I can't even understand the words to----I only know the first few repetitive words----haven't a clue what the song is really about---I just know those pounding, too upbeat for the middle of the night, phrases. Think "bang, bang da, da, da, da, bang, bang....." or "I'm all about that bass, 'Bout that bass, no treble" over and over and over again. There is no rest with those vibrating words in my head.

I need more pithy scripture lyrics with a slowbeat replacement melody---esp. this morning when the earworm went from 2:30 til sometime after 5.
Be gone Brainworm/Earworm/Songworm...whatever you are.
A great treatise on prayer and the video makes me "puddle" everytime I see it.

Praises!!! I was able to dance at Halle and Kyle's wedding.
Prayer Requests
Praises for peace that passes understanding throughout the healing process. It was certainly there during ALL the surgeries thanks to the fervent prayers of many. Cancer is always in one's rear-view but so is trust in the Lord--- for all His children!
