Word of the Day PT I

Fellows:

Please read the word of the day closely, and hopefully use it in a good sentence or two throughout the week. Todays inclusion is:

Claque

claque \KLACK\, noun: 1. A group hired to applaud at a performance. 2. A group of fawning admirers.

I self inspect everyday to verify that I am not a claque. That I am not a hired gun to amplify the week notion of someone's importance or performance. Except my boss of course. And his boss, and every boss above him that is directly responsible for my current salary and all future salaries.

Thinking. Are we not giddy? Giddy that our Creator did not bring us about to be His claquers? Actually He did, but it was a good thing. Intended to have humans that understood His glory and would happily claque away all day long existing in the perfect harmony and joy of not only fellowshiping with Him, but also enjoying the earth and all its glory He provided.

Back to my initial argument on God and claque. Besides that, the apple screwed it all up. Eve messed up, Adam follow suit. The end result, if appreciated adequately is all the better. Now God not only intended us to be His little claques, but with sin and its consequences, He only wants claquers who claque because they want to. Because they love Him. Because they are broken, clean, desperate for a reconciliation to his original purpose.

Could there be anything more joyful than being God's claque. Because we want to?

Out.
