And It Came To Pass...Usually

What's In a Name?

Welcome to my blog! I'm new to this whole thing, so bear with me as I get this going. As I was contemplating naming my blog, nothing I came up with sounded right. The more I thought, the more I drew a blank. I started thinking about my college days and about some experiences I had with a few really good friends of mine.

Being typical college students, we ran on next to no sleep. Next to no sleep=impaired cognitive function, which also=fun times. I was reading the Scriptures one night with a friend and she was pacing while reading (to keep herself from falling asleep while reading). As she was reading she came upon the phrase, "and it came to pass", but somehow the word "usually" ended up in there somehow. "And it came to pass...usually". We had good laughs over it (and still do!) and I can't help but think how it applies to life. Life tends to follow the 80/20 rule... most of the time things happen the way expected. Occasionally not. But, still it happens. Usually.

  • I love the name Elizabeth.....I'm a sucker for "This too shall pass." I am wonder if "Usually" could fit with that? LOL

    I'm also a newbie to the whole BLOG thing and have yet to fully interpret it.

  • Hi Elizabeth,

    Now you have a blogg ... what to say to the world? :-)

    I always thought they were having visions of future traffic problems. I come upon that situation all the time when people are driving to slow:

    And I came to pass them, and verily I got ahead 1 car length on my way to work.
