The Hole Truth

Perhaps some might gather that I'm in the hole, as in unable to afford a decent pair of jeans.

I'd offer instead that my holey pants reflect a whole-hearted glam.

On the whole, I like my jeans. Some would go whole-hog for finding the perfect pair for the perfect occasion. I'm more holistic in my search--finding the perfect jeans for my whole life.



"You could shop wholesale," they might offer.

But the satisfaction of being holed up to sew one's own patches is a whole lot better than jeans money burning a hole in one's pocket.

"But, they look so...hole-in-the-wall."

"Do they not fit my wholesome appearance?"

"Truly, you could hit a hole in one with a pair of Raven Denims."

Try as you might to pick a hole in my stance, you'll have as much chance of getting me to change my view as you would trying to push a Holstein.

I'm wholly uninterested.

So I patch my holes, and my jeans are whole again, because only God should be holy!

Holy Hole Blog, Batman! Was this the project?? Aye, yaya! You hit a hole in one on this one.

But hold the phone. I wholeheartedly disagree! New jeans could be a whole new you! But I won't HOLE(d) my breath waiting!

Naw, I love you just the way you are, holes and all.

I love your holey jeans as they show your great Mommy job- they are holey from getting down to the young ones level playing! With your cute patches you could offer a "whole" new look for moms of young ones and with the biblical significance the old jeans would be well....priceless! Neat we both were thinking of wholes!

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea...

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
