So I heard something cool on the radio today:
The word "sincerity" comes from (I didn't hear Greek or Latin) meaning "without wax." What that meant was in ancient times when potters would crack a pot they were firing they would hide the flaw with beeswax and still sell the piece as flawless. Honest potters would advertise their products to be "without wax." If you think about being sincere, or how we are to be sincere in our Christian lives it means being "without wax;" no trying to hide the flaws and imperfections but rather rooting them out. I love a good word. :)
dejoe thinks i'm strange for the words i use. he teases me about bringing along a pocket dictionary to use when he talks to me. it's great, though, when i put my new os on my computer it came with a new screen saver that's all words and definitions...now if i could only remember the words later...
