sherbet

Wow….who would have thought it?  Sherbert, which is how I have ALWAYS pronounced it, is actually sherbet, pronounced…..wait……get ready…..sherbit.  You have to actually say it out loud to get the full annoying effect of the correct pronounciation.  Sherbit.  I don’t like it, not one bit.  I like sherbert, sherbert.  Say it with me proudly.  Because if you say it the correct way, people will just think you’re weird , or possibly snobby.  🙂  And we don’t want that now, do we?!

While I’m at it, how about all those other excellent “erts”?  Like besmirched and alert.  One of my little jokes(I don’t have many, so I get excited about the few I know) is:

Always be alert.  (pause)   Because you can never have too many lerts!  (riotous laughter ensues)

Ok, Ok, I will let you now return to your brilliant and stimulating Monday morning activities.  Thank you for your time and effort you will spend in promoting the erts.  😉  Slainte, Lisa

P.S.  Please let me know in the comments how you pronounce sherbet….this is a burning question of interest for me.

“Never lose sight of the desires God has placed within you.”  ~Anonymous

“I don’t want to see you hesitate, when you’ve been called to explore

And I don’t want to see you weary, when you’ve been made to soar…

In case you didn’t know, you have permission to dream.” ~Enation, Permission to Dream

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14 (NIV)

It’s easy to get down, be uninspired, to be bogged down in the details.  But God has created you in His image…a creative, inspired, alive, and dreaming person who is one of a kind.  Rejoice!  Lisa

 

Dreams and Snowflakes

We are having snow this morning….thick, wet, huge snowflakes that are melting as soon as they hit the warmer pavement.  Which is great with me, as I am a pretty uncourageous snow driver.  The snow is fading away quickly, like a good dream that disappears into thin air as you awaken.

But some things, the really good things, never fade away.  The love of a special person, the faithfulness of God to us,  the promises that God has made in His word that always come to pass, the hope of eternity spent in peace and joy and beauty with Jesus.  These things will never pass away, never melt, never fade.  I am thankful for these things this morning.  Slainte, Lisa
