In your discussion of ...What a great post, Glynis.<br /><br />In your discussion of long words, I cannot not mention my own favourite, which comes from the classic Mary Poppins movie:<br /><br />Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious<br /><br />And yes, Glynis, I do love the miracle of words. Ever since I can remember I loved the sound and feel of words, writing them, forming certain favourites and letting them swirl around my tongue. Lovely.<br /><br />And then there's the wondrous Word who become flesh. I'm so thankful for those of us who love that Word best.<br /><br /><br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-73319469075100559172014-01-15T21:30:51.083-07:002014-01-15T21:30:51.083-07:00Thanks, sweet friends.

Carol, there is a town in Wales that has a name that is well over 36 letters. My mom (bless her heart) was able to pronounce it with her lovely Welsh accent. <br />Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch . :) Glynishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621548333351709607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-33444189035884728432014-01-14T18:06:05.412-07:002014-01-14T18:06:05.412-07:00My ten-year- old granddaughter is just discovering...My ten-year- old granddaughter is just discovering a love of long words. I sent her the longest place name in Wales, but it's not as long as your word. Exciting to see a youngster having fun with words. Who knows what her future holds?<br />carolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086388857166496233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-71019185240095328782014-01-12T15:01:04.519-07:002014-01-12T15:01:04.519-07:00Language, like music, is such a gift.

God in His goodness allowed Adam to use language in the creative way He wanted to in order to assign names. He gives us the same creative freedom with the 26 letters. We are co-creators with Christ and that is mind-blowing!<br />fudge4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295705620837466292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-90786026497815974162014-01-10T16:10:20.356-07:002014-01-10T16:10:20.356-07:00Tough to get your tongue around that one, Glynis, ...Tough to get your tongue around that one, Glynis, but thanks for explaining it and reminding us to use our own combinations of words for God's purposes.
