Fine Words

A publisher once complained to Beatrix Potter about her use of the word "soporific" in her book The Tale of Flopsy Bunny.  She refused to remove it saying, "Children like a fine word occasionally". -----What are some of the fine words you enjoy hearing and using?  Here are some of mine:  cherish, nurture, purple, sacramental, Hallelujah, illuminate, passion, gossamer, journey, velvet, paprika (I don't use that one often!), glorify, idyllic....   Dear Lord, you are my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me.  Psalm 119 (The Message)
