A-Z "U"

Uh


Uh, Let's see. When you give a speech, do you have problems with the "uh" word?  I don't anymore, but when I first had my speech class in college, that was a big problem.

I have to confess, when President Obama first came on the scene, he drove me crazy with his "um"s and "uh"s. I just recently noticed that he has improved over the last 5 years... at least when it comes to the "um"s and "uh"s.   :)

A-Z "T"

Tots


I'll bet just because I am a children's pastor, you think that my "T" word for the day means little ones, children, toddlers,  tots.

Nope.

I want you to know that I love tater tots, particularly Sonic's chili cheese tots. I think I might possibly be addicted. I can't pass a sonic without stopping.  This is not good for the midriff. Not so good for the pockets either.   But man, oh man, my taste buds are happy!

A - Z "R"

(Author's note: I have no idea why I wrote two "R" blogs, but I actually kind of like this one, so I'm keeping it in.  Have a great day!)



Rats

I recently reread  the book "1984". I would strongly recommend it to all especially in light of stuff that is happening in today's society.

Without spoiling the final climax of the book (for those who haven't read it yet), I want to tell you that I have horrible visions of the final time that the main character is tortured. It is embedded in my brain. I think I would do and say anything if someone would do that to me...

Rats.  Hungry rats. ugh.

A-Z "S"

So



So I'm really way behind on my A-Z blogs
So I probably should just quit, but something inside won't let me...
So I will probably just keep going even though I think I've been taken off of the linky list
So no one will be visiting my posts...
So if these thoughts are shorter than usual, maybe that will explain it.
So See you later....  or maybe not.

A-Z "R"

Read



I love to read.
Of course I haven't read all of the books in my house yet.
But my favorite color is red.
And I can turn reeds into whistles...

The English language is weird.

So did you first read this as "reed" or "red"?

A-Z "Q"

Quit.

I will not quit.
Even though it is already May and the A-Z challenge was supposed to be finished on April 30th.
Even though, I am barely halfway through the alphabet.
Even though, I'm really thinking my theme for the year was lame...


I will not quit.

Winston Churchill said it best in a very short speech at a graduating class  ceremony.  He was the main speaker. He was eloquently introduced, stood up at the podium and gave his speech.
"Never quit, never quit, never quit."  And then he sat down.

I think I'll take his advice.

A-Z "P"

Pin, pen, pan

Three words today in honor of all of my southern friends, along with a confession: When you are talking to me with your lovely accent, most of the time, I don't know which of these three words you are saying.  Sometimes I can figure it out by the context of the sentence.

But this is the one that really gets me:

"Do you have a Paannn?"   Pen?  Pan?  Pin?


I just say no.


:)
