I read this today in Jeremiah 17 on the Our Daily Bread website:
9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 “I the LORD search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve.”

Yes, it’s true God did stretch out the Heavens by His understanding:
Jeremiah 10
12 But God made the earth by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom
and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

I have a list of vocabulary words taken from a site that lists the most common ACT/SAT words you should know. We’ve been learning them as a family. I just found a site that makes puzzles with words you can put in. It’s at Discovery School. Here are the puzzles you can choose from. The crossword only can use a maximum of eight words.
Here is the list of vocabulary words I used:
abstract
aesthetic
benevolent
capricious
complacent
conciliatory
devious
diligent

The sky is cloudless as the sun rises. There is a gentle wind that moves the trees just a little. I wanted to describe the details of the rising sun before it revealed it’s blazing face but I just couldn’t start in time because my computer was still opening up my blog page. I watched as it peaked over the horizon. Quickly it seems as if in a minute it’s brightness blatantly began shining through my window and caused me to squint as I wrote down a description.
That’s okay, Jesus promises that someday He will come forth from the eastern sky and He will too come in a blazing glory that no one will be able to ignore. The opening of each new day reminds me of this and I look forward to His coming . . . that will be the dawning of eternity’s day for all the human race!

Pick out the verbs in these sentences and tell whether they are action verbs or linking verbs.

Answer:
The verbs are sneezed, are, appears, and appeared.
Sneezed and appeared are action verbs.

Some verbs like appear can be either action or linking verbs.
It depends on whether it shows action or not.
