Daily Devotional

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works.  Psalm 145:5, NKJV

Has it been a while since you stared at the heavens in speechless amazement?  Has it been a while since you realized God’s divinity?

If it has, then you need to know something.  He is still there!  He hasn’t left.  Under all those papers and books and reports and years.  In the midst of all those voices and faces and memories and pictures, He is still there.

Poem of the day

Let us go forth, as called of God,

Redeemed by Jesus' precious blood;

His love to show, His life to live,

His message speak, His mercy give.--Whittle

Joke of The Day

  A Girl or a Boy  

      Two babies were sitting in their cribs when one called over to the other: "Are you a little girl or a little boy?"
      
      "I don't know," replied the other baby giggling.
      
      "What do you mean, you don't know?" asked the first.
      
      "I mean I don't know how to tell the difference."
      
      "Well, I do," said the first baby chuckling. "I'll climb into your crib and find out."
      
      So he carefully manoeuvred himself into the other baby's crib, then quickly disappeared beneath the blanket. After a couple of minutes, he resurfaced with a big grin on his face. "You're a little girl and I'm a little boy," he said proudly.
      
      "You're ever so clever," cooed the baby girl, "But how can you tell?"
      
      "It's easy," replied the baby boy. "You've got pink booties and I've got blue ones."

Word of the day

obviate

Part of Speech: Verb, transitive


Meaning: 1. To make unnecessary. 2. To eliminate or prevent.

Notes: The meaning of this Word is anything but obvious. In fact, it is not semantically related to the word obvious, even though the two words do share a common root (see History below). So beware this curveball of a Word: it does not mean "to make obvious". The noun is obviation and the adjective is obviative. The adjective also does not have an obvious meaning, either: it is used only to refer to an obscure grammatical function found in a few American Indian languages.

In Play: To obviate the obvious, let's first use this word in an ordinary turn of phase like, "Mike Raffone's long introductory remarks obviated most of the visiting lecturer's speech." Unfortunately, a form of obviation in its second sense, "to eliminate", has become a way of doing business recently: "The new plant in India obviated most of the positions in Anita Job's division."

Word History: The  Word today originated as obviatus, the past participle of Latin obviare "to meet, withstand, prevent". This verb contains the preposition ob "to, toward" and viare "go, travel", which comes from via "road, way". Via we see in Via Appia "the Appian Way", Italy's oldest road and in our preposition via "by way of", as in to send via airmail. The original root also emerged in Latin as veh- which underlies English vehicle. In Germanic languages that V became a W, so we see it in German Wagen (as in Volkswagen "the people's car") and English wagon (UK waggon) and way. Now, the adjective obvious comes from the Latin adjective obvius, built from the phrase ob viam "in the way, within reach". I hope this obviates all your questions about today's Good Word.
