Peek, peak, and pique;  sound the same but meaning varies very much! 

'Peak' 'Peek' 'Pique'

These 3 are rarely listed alphabetically but it helps one whose memory cap is already full and exacerbated by amyloid plaque in the rain. Today it helped me add new POPs to my list----Pinnacle Of Prayer and Peak of Power.

Peak is a noun or adjective that refers to a maximum or high point, as in the peak of a mountain right outside our great room window....

..or a peak performance! Think a second-grader dancing in the rain.

Peek is sight related and often refers to looking quickly. Growing up, our kids would peek over the stair case bannister on Christmas Eve and then run back upstairs to avoid getting "caught"! 

Lastly, a third homophone pique, means "to excite or arouse" and is usually used with "curiosity." For me, (today) my curiosity is piqued by homophones!

Take a peek! It'll be the peak of your day! 

Have I piqued your interest yet?

WORD PLAY!

The Ripley Tomato Lady at the Agri-Center's shirt says it all. 

7 Days 

without PRAYER

 makes us 

WEAK

She (Blessed Girl) was proud to show it off!

In other words, to find strength in today's crazy world, "pray without ceasing." 

(1 Thessalonians 5:17)

WAIT---WEIGHT another "spiritual" grammar lesson

Homophones, a type of homonym, sound the same but differ in meaning and spelling.

Jenni W's lessons on "Praying in the Waiting Room" spoke volumes to me as I began to understand the importance of a "shift in thinking."

Waiting rooms mostly have a bad connotation, unless it's an OB floor where loved ones are awaiting a new little "bundle of joy." Yet, there is a sweetness that comes from lessons learned in God's waiting room. I am grateful for the spiritual aspect of these grammar lessons the Lord has for me. 

Wait to weight was an important "homophone" lesson for me. A lesson in shifting. Shifting my weight to His strength. Waiting can be burdensome. Hard to carry alone.

As I wait on the Lord, I need to shift my weight as I lean on Him. Leaning on anything else---my own understanding or planning, draws me away from God. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Shifting---A lesson of rest for my soul and rest for my restless mind. (Matthew 11:28-30) 

Trusting in anything apart from God has me in my own stead.....and I am no substitute for God!

Give Him the weight of your (my) burdens as we (I) wait for answers.
