Alright! Here is the [now imagine a grand, reverberating voice} Word of the Week!

This week’s word is – "incongruous"

Say it with me now….innn-k-kaahhnnn-greww-uusss.

Very good!

Incongruous means not harmonious, incompatible, not conforming, disagreeing, unsuitable, or inconsistent within itself.

Now let’s place incongruous in some sentences that we might say…well, pretty much any old day of the week…...

Yesterday I wore a pink shirt and lavender velour track pants, which proved to be a rather incongruous ensemble.

Of course, if I had been part of a gay pride parade at the time, my clothing would not have been so incongruous.

However, being part of a gay pride parade would have been completely incongruous with my morals and lifestyle.

I hope that saying I would never be part of one of those parades doesn’t make my words seem incongruous with my kind demeanor and civility towards homosexuals…or anybody else who is vastly different from me.

I certainly believe that I don’t live incongruously with anybody who is different from me in any way.

However, I do find it difficult to enjoy spending a lot of time around people who’s lifestyle, habits, and interests are completely incongruous with my own, rather than people who do share some of those things.

Well….........being late for church would be incongruous with all of my previous efforts to be a faithful devotee to the congregation, so I must go.

Wasn’t that a lot of fun!

Be sure to use incongruous in your daily life this week…...and whenever the opportunity presents itself in the more distant future.

I will be creating a new category for the Word of the Week later today (or maybe tomorrow…okay, let’s be honest…probably tomorrow).
