Just today, motoring on the Interstate, my husband and I saw not one, but two, drivers text messaging WHILE they were steering their vehicles!
Text messaging had already been on my mind, because I happened to see blogs written by young people using lots of IM (instant messaging) acronymns. One that annoys me and probably bugs lots of Christians is "OMG." I hope they're meaning "Oh My Gosh," but the skeptical side of me guesses that they're using the Lord's name in vain.
So I have a solution! Let's start a new acronym: TYG. That's right, "Thank You, God!" It's a good one since we all have so much to be thankful for.
It's even easy to type on the keyboard--all three letters form a tiny triangle right next to each other. So if a driver must multi-task, he or she could say TYG for not crashing!

About Me
- Lorri Allen
- God has been good to me from the beginning. That's why I feel called to encourage others. I've seen the worst of the world covering news, but there's always a silver lining to even the most horrid of tragedies. So that's how I started my speaking business in 1996, with the idea that there is always Good News!

TYG it is! I love it and though I steer clear of text messaging as much as possible, I'm going to start using it at the end of every one I do send. Keep it up Lorri...you are making Our Lord smile.
