The First of Many Sigogglin Somethings

Well, hello there.

You may recognize my work from a previous blog entitled "Emma's Mission."   Or you may just be wondering what kind of silly stuff Emma is up to now.  Or...you may have stumbled upon this by accident. Whatever the case may be: welcome.

I'm not sure why, but it gives me great satisfaction to ramble on about what's going on in Emma's world, the craziness I see other people doing and, of course, the wonderful thing that is life.  I also love sending my ramblings out into the world wide web - well aware that no one may ever read them.  But hey!  At least it makes me happy.

I suppose a little explanation may be in order.  More than likely, you've noticed the big words on the top of the page. (Go ahead, take another look.)  Followin' the Sigogglin Road.  I'm sure you've figured out at least seventy-five percent of it by now.  Let me help you out with the remainder: sigogglin.

First of all, isn't that an excellent word?  I think...yes.  It is.  So, what does it mean?  Well, let's turn to the expert of...everything.  Wiki.

Adjective
sigogglin (sɑigɑglin)*

     1. not built correctly, crooked, skewed to the side, out of balance
              (archaic, US, Appalachia)

There you have it.  You've learned a new word.  Go use it in a sentence.

But don't you agree? Doesn't life seem just a tad sigogglin at times?  You try to go one way and something knocks you back and changes your course.  Or is that just me?  I don't think so.  What I think is that we all think we know what life is supposed to be like, what the world owes us, what God is going to put in our path.  But...we're wrong.  I think there's a whole lot of things we don't know, and we just may have to follow the road when it starts ziggin' (the zaggin' is optional).  So, I've realized there's a whole lot of things that I think I know that I don't really know.  Maybe this blog will hit on some of those things.  

But you know what?  As stupid as I am, I'm pretty darn sure that there's someone who does know - for real - what's going on and why those road are so stinking sigogglin.  And lucky for us, He's on our side.  

Have a look at this great video.  Anything in your life that may actually build you up when you thought it was tearing you down?
