Six Hundred Two Through Six Hundred Seventeen

I learned a new word today. A Greek word at that! Chairein. It's a greeting and it's pronounced "chi rain". It means "Joy To You". I wish I could make it sound normal to just drop a Greek greeting into regular life. You know, show up at a friend's house and instead of saying 'Hey! How are you guys?' say "Chairein!". Somehow I don't think I can quite pull that off. It would also be a great blog name... if I didn't already have one.

So Joy To You this week! Maybe it be a week full of God's graces in your life, and may you stop and be verbally thankful to Him who delights in dropping every single one directly in your path!
