word of the day

I forgot about this one! Dictionary.com’s word of the day….

punctilious \puhnk-TIL-ee-uhs\, adjective:
Strictly attentive to the details of form in action or conduct; precise; exact in the smallest particulars.

That’s a great word. And I have to say that Pastor Matthew’s awesome assistant, Megan Lewis, was a punctilious dream today as she followed my cacophany of tedious instructions to upgrade this computer I have been meaning to get to for forever. Megan, you ROCK! Thanks for loaning her to me PM! Hope you are having a great day off!
