Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:
»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«
================================================
And how much courage.
Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.
The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
(Mark Twain)
“Be careful what you say—you may have to eat your words.”
I don’t think so much about eating my words as about wearing them. When someone sees me, the words come back to haunt like a miasma around me. No matter how colourful my dress, bad words turn everything grey and muddy brown.
Have you ever noticed that the only difference between »word« and »weird« are the vowels?

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!
I can't wait to get away from this office!!
The >>Word of the Day<< today over at dictionary.com is >>oblation<<.
>>Oblation<< comes from the past participle form of the Latin verb* >>offerre<< meaning >>to bring<<.
So, an oblation is an offering or a gift.
__________
* A Latin verb is traditionally cited by giving four forms, in this case: offero, offerre, obtuli, oblatum.
