How true that we need to comprehend the single draft of life and let the master editor do His work to make that draft the very best adventure it can be.

BTW we may laugh over the "Let's eat Grandma" mistake - but the lack of a single "s" forced a well-established Welsh family business into liquidation, caused 250 people to lose their jobs & cost the government 9 million pound in compensation!

I like the thought of adding "Perfect Story Arc Editor" to the list of designations for God.

My mother was a wise and wonderful woman in so many ways, not the least of which was her unfailing faith in God.<br /><br />As for permission to quote me - I would be absolutely delighted.

How thankful I am that His pen is always on track and corrects me as I go along - always making good out of all the scratch marks of my life's pen. Isn't it great that He sees the big picture? So of course we can trust Him all the way. Thanks Cathie. You put a grin on my face this morning. :)Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-18574509104378897642015-02-02T10:24:39.147+10:002015-02-02T10:24:39.147+10:00Really enjoyed this 'Punctuation Ponder', ...Really enjoyed this 'Punctuation Ponder', Cathie--thank you. And I loved your whimsical sense of humour as well as those excellent insights about God's part in our lives that permeated your writing.

Loved every bit of this post. And that letter your mother wrote...wonderful.<br /><br />How encouraging to realise in a very real sense God is 'editing' our lives. That is such an original take. Can I have your permission to quote you in a 5 min. radio program my husband and I co-present?

I think the use of punctuation is even more creative in poetry. It's good to know that there are some things the online editor can't do :) And I like your analogy about God punctuating our lives. Especially when I send him a question mark and He sends me a question mark back. It is great to know He's the perfect editor with the perfect story arc for each of us.
