One of my major concerns as I aspire to achieve a fair level of consistency in posting to this blog is an increasing awareness of encroaching dementia. That is, I can hardly remember thoughts, ideas, and information from one moment to another. The only remedy, as I see it, is in jotting-down those thoughts, ideas, etc., as they occur - I mean, immediately. So, don't ask me if I said it, if I thought it, or if I remember it, unless it has been 'committed to writing', in which case, I more than likely have 'lost' these tiny bits of information - probably in plain sight.
One such committment is my stated intention to explain the word hallucidate. Here is my feeble attempt to provide that explanation: hallucidate is, first of all, a contrived word that may be a prime example of an oxymoron. It would appear to be an effort to wed incompatibles. My Webster's New World Dictionary defines hallucinate as: to wander mentally, to cause to have hallucinations. Conversely, elucidate is defined: to make clear, explain. The overlapping is apparent, the contrast is evident. Still, the mind can sometimes be that complex, or is it, that simple? I'll leave it at that, for the present. Isn't it just marvelous what the swapping of a single letter can do? What do you suppose 4evr means?
Today I somehow made a tiny discovery. I stumbled onto the procedure for linking to other websites. What a useful device - one I'd scarcely have been able to devise - on my own. Anyway, I'll be doing a considerable amount of that in the future.
For now, I'll em-bed a couple more videos. Watch, and listen to Pastor Jeff Noblit, of First Baptist Church of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Pastor Noblit has a separate ministry website Anchored In Truth
On the FBC, Muscle Shoals website, there is a great pdf booklet The Great Answer to The Great Question.
