Devotional Thought from Ps. Will |

Are there some words that you don’t like to use because you don’t like the way they sound? There are words I don’t like to use, but it has more to do with believing there is a better way to say whatever it is I’m trying to say. For example, the word “kiddos” doesn’t make sense to me, especially since the word “kids” is so much shorter to say. Why do we use the word “kiddo” anyway? During this pandemic, a phrase I don’t like to use is “hunker down.” I looked up the meaning on Word Detective and the first definition was like squatting down, and the second one was synonymous with “buckle down,” which in the 16th century literally meant to strap on armor before battle. These definitions I like. I love squats because they are a great complete body muscle builder, and putting on armor is a great picture of what to do in this season. But that is not what I think of when I hear the word “hunker down.” Instead it says to me I should hide out and wait. Rather than telling people what to do to get prepared, I think this word/phrase leaves people paralyzed as they wait for the next instructions, which never seem to come.
