"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...

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...
