WORDSMITH WEDNESDAY!

INTERROBANG!

Did that punctuation term get your attention!?

Thanks to fellow librarian ljj, for introducing me on "Teaching Tuesday"  to this fused question mark and exclamation point. Think simultaneous question, somewhat rhetorical, & exclamation. Interrogative with a bang................

Fusing the emoji !? makes perfect since to me.....my mind often fuses words on its own.

Interrobang is a noun for this non-standard punctuation mark, indicating a question expressed in an exclamatory manner! Mother had a way of using them often when she was aghast at my behavior.

What on earth do you think you are doing, playing with my make-up .........

 

According to my research, the mark has only been in use since 1961.

God's word reminds us to let our words be few. (Ecclesiastes 5:2) He that restrains lips is wise. (Proverbs 10:19b)

Perhaps the interrobang allows us to say much with fewer words.

What do  you think......

BE STILL!

Can God use fatigue to "make" you be still in order to know that He is God!

Will let you know after my next nap!

CALM THE QUALM

Don't panic; I'm with you. (5 words or less) (Isaiah 41:10a, MSG)

No such button available in my life. 

But God in His love and mercy has given us His word and His Son, who is the word. (Ephesians 2:4, John 1:1)

Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; (Psalm 37:7, NKJV)

Fret not, Dots.....to calm the qualm!

FELLOWSHIP FRIDAY!

Fellowship is defined as friendly association especially with people who gather to share one's interest.

Art Lovers Gather.

Book Lovers Gather.

Sometimes the two coincide @ Germantown Library with chess lovers added to the mix.

Runners Gather.

Jesus Followers Gather. 

Christian fellowship denotes participative sharing and mutual encouragement towards Christ. They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (Acts 2:42)

THANKFUL THURSDAY!

 calm YOUR ANXIETY!

 How does one do that!

 Give all your worries and cares to God....for He cares about you.  (1Peter 5:7, NLT) 

 How many ways can one say it??

Robert Morgan shares in calm YOUR ANXIETY, God's Word offers a "divine inoculation against the paralyzing disease of worry." (Day 29, P.58)

Eugene Peterson's biblical  paraphrase, The Message, says, "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worry, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns."

Ending today with a cuppa gra-TEA-tude and evening prayers of thanksgiving. 

After all.....it's "Thankful Thursday."
