Many years ago when I was single and worked at an Insurance Company in Grand Rapids, I became an Eliza Doolittle of sorts to a guy that worked there. This guys was one of the Mensa types! Very intelligent, almost to intelligent to be useful, if you know what I mean! Anyway we were having a conversation once, I can't remember what about exactly, but he told me I was catholic. I said P, I am not catholic, and he said no you don't understand catholic means "universal". Oh, well I learned something new. So from that point on for quite awhile he would put 2 words on my desk each morning for me to look up the definitions on, and that is how I became his Eliza!
That being said as background. The other day I used the word Plethora, and I thought I wonder if my kids would like to do something similar to what I did. So I asked them, "what would you say if once a week (not every day as my task master did) I had each of you flip open the dictionary, close your eyes and point to a word, and we will put that on mom's blog. They both loved the idea. Here are the rules:
- Each one needs to flip open the dictionary, close eyes, and point at a word.
- We write down the definition
- They try use it in a sentence
- Mom trys finding a verse in the bible that will go with it.
Here are our words of the week:
Bekah: Levorotary - turning toward the left or counterclockwise
Her sentence: I went levorotary in a game.
My verse: Ezekial 18: 30 Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall.
Jeremiah: Snapper - one that snaps: as a: something (as a remark) that gives new orientation to a situation or utterance
His sentence: Champ is a snapper. (He was being silly, but it works with the 1st part of the definition)
My verse: Ezekial 18:31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? (That may be a stretch, but hey they were right next to each other too!)
Well we hope you enjoyed Super Word Saturday! If anything it should help you when you play scrabble!!
Kim, Jeremiah & Bekah
