REMINDER
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

Groic!


I just posted a quick comment at Amy's Today's Thought blog and had to fill in the ubiquitous "Type in the letters you see" verification. That site's verification usually uses a nonsense combination of letters.

Today's combination was "Groic".
I like that... groic!
"Groic" should be a word!

"May I borrow your groic?" "How many oranges are in a groic?" or maybe "I would love to go with you but my groic is acting up..."

While wew're at it, how about the word "Love" as in "God's Love". The Greek word is "agape" but Shakespeare had it right: "What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."

Call it "God's Love", "Agape" or "Groic", it is just wonderful:

God's Love is patient.
God's Love is kind.
God's Love does not envy.
God's Love does not boast.
God's Love is not proud.
God's Love is not rude.
God's Love is not self-seeking.
God's Love is not easily angered.
God's Love keeps no record of wrongs.
God's Love does not delight in evil.
God's Love rejoices with the truth.
God's Love always protects.
God's Love always trusts.
God's Love always hopes.
God's Love always perseveres.
- Adapted (almost verbatim) from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV

I don't care what you call it, but that is the size and shape of the hole in my heart. And all we have to do is ask Him and He'll fill it.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.
- Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV

Ya'll be groic!

Pretty much a sinner through and through. I have two daughters and a son. God has blessed me over and over on a scale that defies any relationship to my faithfulness to Him. I'm just trying to do right by the people I know and love more of them better, (while practicing hard at being a grumpy old man.)
