Mechanics For Peace (MFP):
“We hate it when things don’t run the way they should. With violence and war, nothing runs smoothly. Peace now.”
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
She fills me with wonder.
She suits my personality, my values and causes.
She understands and accepts my alternative perspective on so many things.
She encourages my strengths and puts up with my weaknesses.
Than you managed to bring us together might fit the description “miraculous.” Remarkable at least.
Thirty-two years and counting.
Thank you.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“Softly and tenderly, I’m calling you, Deborah.”
[Such a sentimental song, but not His style.]
D. Blog: Word of the Week – “Padiddle”
[The origin of the word is unknown, but numerous websites offer explanations. My favorite (partly because it features Western North Carolina, but more for its creativity) comes from The Encyclopedia of Pointless, eopoint.com]
Overview
Padiddle is a game played in the car. Now wait a minute! Listen for a second. It's actually quite fun. More fun, in fact, than your standard car game. It is centered around a scavenger-hunt theme. All the players in the game must look for cars with one headlight out, or as it is referred to in game terms, a "Padiddle". Upon finding one, they yell out "Padiddle!" This must be confirmed by at least one other player, unless the players all know each other quite well and trust one another. What happens at this point is up to the version of the game you are playing.
The Padiddle Ruling Council
The Padiddle Ruling Council live on a lofty peak high in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. Inside their ancient fortress they rule on various Padiddle-related subjects, such as new rules. Under the Padiddle Ruling Council are the Padiddle-Wraiths, creatures cloaked in night that serve the Ruling Council with undying devotion. It is these wraiths that enforce the rules of Padiddle. Cheaters in Padiddle are invariably visited by one of these frightening apparitions. Then generally bad things happen.
