"WOO!!!" Nellie




"It's Tuesday--WOO!!!"

I'm not sure who started it first--RJ2 or me--but the proclamation of the day with a "WOO!!!" is definitely a bright point in the day (when she remembers to "bring it!"). She usually remembers in the car on the way to school. Helps me to not take the getting-to-school traffic so seriously.

But, the best part about this little ritual is that it works wonders with any day of the week. Try it yourself.
"It's Wednesday--WOO!!!" (And you get an alliteration kick with that one!)

"It's Friday--WOO!!!" (Proven winner; been around for decades....)

"It's Sunday--WOO!!!" (At first, I thought I might not like this one. Can you "WOO!!!" the Sabbath? But it brings such a smile to your face and joy to your heart. God works through a "WOO!!!")

"It's Monday--WOO!!!" (Oh....you just try it in a few days....)

Can you be "WOO!!!"'ed into your day??

By the way, if you're wondering what RJ2 is wearing, it's an in-the-door puppet theater. She may not always want to see the show, but she definitely likes to BE the show!

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...

Did You Find a Directing Sign?

  I drove downtown a couple weeks ago to make a hand-off to a friend who was hosting an event. As we traded a couple of quick comments trunk-side, she invited me to join in her activity. I thanked her but declined saying, "I've already made one trip downtown this week." I grew up living 20 miles away from New York City. Outside of my Dad bringing us in to work at his college or my aunt taking us to Broadway shows every so often, we almost never went there. Later, I worked in Chicago and managed the trains and buses in and out of the city for five years -- until I took a job in the 'burbs. Now, going to the city is largely for entertainment purposes, and I tend not to be the driver for those occasions. Despite what you might be intimating, I do not dislike cities. They truly do have a quality and magnetism all their own. But me DRIVING in the city is another story entirely. And life today seems like a nonstop ride in the city.
