"Verbs are action words..." This is the mantra of every teacher who has ever tried to teach me how words fit together. "Action" speaks of "doing." But there are important verbs that are not full of action:
Pause
Quiet
Stop
Comfort
Rest
Dwell
I think I can use all of them in a sentence:
"Today I am going to pause and be quiet, stop my mind from racing and comfort my soul with thoughts of rest as I dwell in the skin God has given me."
I hope you will, too.
About Me
- Doug
- I'm in my mid-thirties...what I've been told are the "middle school years of life"...married and have 4 children, all of whom have been born in the 21st century. I've been married since 1998 and am constantly blown away by the life Sarah and I lead together! I'm an Army veteran, college graduate (DUKES!) and work in the public schools as an assistant principal. I grew up going to church, but didn't really make the connection between church and God until I was 19. Since then I've walked, run, tripped, fallen (with many scraped knees, elbows, forehead, etc.) with God, learning to be real and holy...I would have thought that by now I'd be farther along the path! I've spent most of my life in Virginia, but I love my roots in California and Arizona. I spent a year in Texas and miss the wide open spaces and confident spirits I met there! Currently we live in Charlottesville.
