What's in a Name?

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." So they say.
For those of you who wonder why I named my blog "The Boring Corner" my reasoning follows.
I enjoy things that conflict. I find it intriguing that the Lord often chose opposites to show truth. 1 Corinthians 1: 26-29 says, "For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God." The Bible speaks often in paradoxical ways. People expected the Messiah to come as a king - He came as a little baby.

So - I chose the name, "The Boring Corner" because it is interesting! It gets your attention and engages you from the minute you see it. The title, although some may beg to differ, is not boring at all but fun, perhaps even semi-clever.

Think about it. We are a society of paradoxes. "Jumbo Shrimp?" What about a "Baby Grand"? Or what about the fact that there is no "pine" in "pineapple"? Curious, isn't it?
