in which I ponder adverbs

A friend of mine gave me a poster at the beginning of Advent that has a list of adverbs on it.

That’s all, just adverbs.

It’s a pretty funny thing. I mean, what do adverbs have to do with Advent? I think if you reflect on these words in light of our yearning for the coming of Christ, you might just get it.

I’ve been pondering the words myself, so I added a few of my own, and created what we boring old English teachers call a Concrete Poem.

You probably call it a Wordle.

What adverbs would you add?

JOY!

So I have this friend who sees my happy mood today and swoops into my office all secretive and stuff, grabs a scrap of paper off my desk and writes —

…and then disappears. Of course, I had to look it up. She was right.

She is clothed with strength and dignity,

and laughs at the days to come.

Proverbs 31:25

it’s a flannery kinda morning

When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God’s business.
