Perhaps I can narrow the Words Matter Week blog challenge question in a similar way, so I can avoid the hard task of choosing just one word!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variant #1: What is the most important proper noun in your life? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>God<\/strong>. That&#8217;s an easy pick, because faith is central to my life, and without God, nothing else would matter. Of course, there are other very important proper nouns: Donald, Craig, Taylor and Anya, Bryan, and Trevor. They are important because they are my sweet family, and I love them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variant #2: What is the most important verb in your life? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Love.<\/strong> Without love, it would be impossible to experience deep relationships with those proper nouns (and remember, God is love- I John 4:7-8). Without love, there would be no true grace, mercy, peace, joy, kindness, patience or goodness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variant #3: What is the most important adjective\/adverb in your life? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t pick just one: <strong>kindly <\/strong>and<strong> creatively <\/strong>are my two choices. I want to live my life kindly and creatively, for the sake of joy and love.<\/p>\n<p>See? It&#8217;s much easier to answer a question if it&#8217;s narrowed to a manageable size. It&#8217;s also easier to write about something if you define terms before you begin. There&#8217;s more than one way to skin a rat!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wordsmatter.naiwe.com\">Words Matter Week<\/a> is sponsored by the <a href=\"http:\/\/naiwe.com\"><strong>National Association of Independent Writers and Editors<\/strong><\/a>.
