I was given the letter "W" and immediately one word came into my mind so let’s get started.
1. Wonderful – Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace...This is one of my favorite parts to the Christmas choral masterpiece that is Handel’s Messiah.
2. Whistle – I always wanted to whistle better than I do. Some people have the most beautiful whistle, clear and strong – like in the theme songs to The Andy Griffith Show and Lassie.
3. Water-ski – I used to be able to water ski like nobody’s business. I never was comfortable with the slalom ski but I could go for at least 20 minutes on two skis. I haven’t water skied in probably at least 12 years.
4. White – The color of purity, innocence and true love.
5. Wide-eyed – An expression of children’s innocence and awe of the world around them.
6. World Peace – The only way to true world peace is through Jesus. No Jesus No Peace, Know Jesus, Know Peace.
7. World-view – What I am trying to view through the eyes of a Christian – seeing the things of the world in Biblical terms as God intends instead of in secular, humanistic, hedonistic terms.
8. Whatever – A really bad habit of mine. I say this when I'm exasperated by what “The X” is saying and am tired of the arguing and the insinuations and am done with it.
9. War – there has never been a time in the history of this world that there has been peace, except in the Garden of Eden. See #6.
10. Wings – if I could have one super power it would be the ability to fly. Also, the line to Mark Harris’s new song Find Your Wings. I dedicate that song to my precious Emily. The most Wonderful part of my life!
that you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
for all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
you're walking in the truth
And if I've never told you
I want you to know that
as I watch you grow
I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
i'm here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings
May passion be the wind that moves
you through your days
and may convictions keep you strong
guide you on your way
May there be many moments
that make your life so sweet
but more then memories
I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
i'm here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer you as you fly
I will give you roots and help you find your wings

those are great, dear Nic! Glad you played along! :-)
I can't whistle well either. Pretty pathetic - I'm 32 years old and can't master a skill that even Opie could do well!

A great collection, Nic. You write wonderfully, as always.
This look cool! Love all the W's.
I say whatever a lot also, especially when I am trying to end a fight or an argument...tsk...tsk...hehe...
Anyway, see you on TTh. Mine's up now :-)
