FROG More And FEAR Less

I have always enjoyed a good acronym.  I especially like it when one actually spells something that doubles as a sensical word; they are quick and clever monikers.  My little one was sporting a frog stamp on the top of her hand when a lady noticed it and commented on it.  So proud, my daughter was only too thrilled to whip out her little stamp pad she’d received in an Easter egg and offer the woman a frog of her own.  I was surprised when the lady said yes, thinking she was a very good sport.  She said it was perfect and that it carried personal meaning for her.  When I gave her an inquiring look she responded, “Faithfully (or Fully) Rely On God.”  Then I found out she was also a minister.  I thanked her for sharing that with us and said I had never heard that one before.  Admiring her hand happily, she turned to my little girl and asked if she would please put a frog stamp on top of her other one as well.  She was more than happy to oblige.  The poor woman could easily have been covered from head to toe in frog stamps without much provocation.  Neale Donald Walsch, the American author of “Conversations with God,” wrote:  “‘FEAR’ is an acronym in the English language for ‘False Evidence Appearing Real.'”  I also have a penchant for alliteration.  I could not help but notice both of these words begin with the same letter.  From now on I am going to try and resolve to FROG more and FEAR less.
