Word of the Day

beatitudeYou Make Me So Very Happy One Word of the Day:There's ordinary happiness, and then there's beatitude: over-the-top, blissful happiness. That's the uncount meaning of beatitude. If you find more than one then you're probably dealing with the Beatitudes, a name applied to several sayings of Jesus of Nazareth in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-11), all of them beginning "Blessed are..." Though the word may look related to beauty, it is not.
