After a couple of weeks of thinking, reading, listening, and collecting, I have put together this illustrious collection of some of my favorite words.

Hello my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very methodical, writerly post, in my opinion. I like it, you should write more of this sort. :) Not that I mind any of your other posts. I love them all. Just write more of them...get the hint? ;)
I think my favorite word out of all of those is the word 'wondrous'. To me, that word just speaks beauty and awe and the Lord. I picture the Colorado mountains, or a sheltered, green meadow, or the wild, untamed oceans... Wondrous.
