Good morning and welcome. Today, it is Wednesday, May 7, 2025, and, I, for one, am thankful to have awakened this morning because I realize that every heartbeat actually belongs to God, therefore, I give Him thanks and praise. What say you? Wordplay is simply that, using words in a playful manner. When we read or communicate we liven up the exchange by playing around with words. Let me break the ice by doing my best to bite the bullet and in so doing I will try to hit the nail on the head. At the same time I wouldn't want to let the cat out of the bag but I will settle for killing two birds with one stone. I sure hope I am not barking up the wrong tree here, knowing that dealing with it is a piece of cake. I am trying to avoid it costing an arm and a leg but wouldn't want to be cutting corners at the risk of ending up being under the weather while putting the ball back in your court. In many ways it's back to square one, but, a blessing in disguise, which, these days are a dime a dozen, but, I never want to be accused of beating around the bush, however, as they say, better late than never. What? You think I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I remind you, actions speak louder than words, and since you are the apple of my eye I will not allow my bark to be worse than my bite. I do hope I haven't burned any bridges, if so, I will have to call it a day, but, I must tell you I will not cry over spilled milk or be the devil's advocate in this matter. Remember, every cloud has a silver lining, that is, if it's not allowed to get out of hand. I will give the benefit of the doubt in the blink of an eye before I hit the sack. You can jump on the bandwagon, keep your chin up, and, when it's all said and done, let sleeping dogs lie. We wouldn't want to miss the boat because of an off the cuff remark that occurs once in a blue moon and shows up from out of the blue. Right? You think I might be trying to pull your leg? Nope. Just trying to stay on the ball and to tread lightly on thin ice while doing my best not to rain on anyone's parade because let's face it, Rome was not build in a day. Whew! Fortunately while trying to have the best of both worlds I was saved by the bell and have attempted to stay with it through thick and thin knowing that time flies when one is having fun. Don't get the idea I am twisting your arm, so don't get up in the air because that would only occur when pigs fly. In closing, you can't judge a book by it's cover and your guess is as good as mine.
Before you report me via the crisis hotline, realize I sat down with a list of idiomatic phrases and put together that paragraph to celebrate Witty Word Wednesday. No, like Cinco De Mayo, it's not a holiday celebrating a real historical event, it's just an excuse to have fun. Being the serious minded guy that I am, don't be swayed by today's posting as indicating I have a fun side to my personality. I do enjoy a good laugh now and then. It does a body good. Like medicine. Yep. You've heard that one before. It's taken from Proverbs 17, Verse 22. Solomon, via inspiration, either said these things or he collected these sayings as a way of providing instruction. This means that according to Solomon, known as the wisest man ever to walk on the planet (with one exception The Lord Himself, Jesus Christ), presents laughter as being good medicine. And, that's no laughing matter. I do know Solomon was a very high IQ guy but 700 wives and 300 concubines, what in the world was he thinking? As the preachers like to joke, he had a least 700 mothers-in-law too! I quickly add I have never been able to tell mother-in-law jokes because mine was almost too good to be true. She, in her own simple way, was truly a woman of God. So many jokes I've had to pass on, but, I am the one blessed as a result.
Here's your assignment for today. See if you can spot all the idioms I used in the first paragraph. When you finish that exercise, take a moment to consider all that God has done and as a result give Him thanks and praise. Yeah. I was surprised too when I found that selfie with Solomon and his wives. Wow! It is true. You can find almost anything on the internet. Take care now, you hear? And, may God add His blessings. Amen.
