Hah! Time passes – taglines change – mine used to be “Rabble-rousing Hummingbird!”
But now, my tagline might more appropriately be “Chirpy!”
I’m sitting in my rocker, up in my sanctuary, listening to peaceful gospel music, singing along, and inviting my guardian Angel to slow me down, help me watch where I’m going, and guide my steps carefully.
No more rabble rousing!
Just sit on my perch and chirp!
What’s your tagline?
Has yours changed for you through the years, too?
This week my nephew, Liam, and his mom (my niece) and dad from PA and good friend from UT are visiting us.
Yesterday after church, Liam tried his hand at chirping on the saw! He is an adventuresome 16-year-old. I’d give him the tagline of “Soarer!”
He’s interested in learning – Interested in trying everything. He is learning to fly; he’s going to flight school as a high school junior. An amazing kid! He soars!
Oh my!
Sure hope my chirps are a bit more pleasant! Takes a lot of practice to make music that’s pleasing while fiddling on a saw!
But if you have an adventuresome spirit, you are ready to try something new – and if it doesn’t work out perfectly on the first try, you explore … and keep trying. Eventually you can soar, too!
What does my tagline say about my true identity?
Am I a chirping bird? If so, what song do I sing? Does it glorify my maker?
Sometimes, a tagline is something only others around you can see. Just like jet jocks in our armed forces. Their call signs are those created by others, not themselves. I’m too close, I don’t know what my tagline would be. I’ll wait until one is assigned. Hopefully not the one that Jamie Sibold have me in high school.
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Birds are your central theme. What is your favorite bird? I love the yellow and black ones, and the blue birds, not to mention the cardinal….all so lovely. Yet as wonderful as they are, we are of much more value than they are to our Father. So chirp on sister. Keep sharing the good news. I love you! ❤️
Thank you, {{{Donna}}}. I am enjoying a quiet day with chirping birds outside. I love the meadowlarks and the robins. Little black wrens are all over our yard and trees, too. I do love birds… especially the ones that sing. The cawing of crows can be annoying and the selfishness of the magpies make me want to chase them away. Also, they eat the robin’s eggs! But I know God made them all with their individual characteristics for a reason.
Inspiring post! Jan, you have me thinking about possible taglines to describe myself. Could there be a future poem waiting in the wings? I guess we’ll see.

So True.
I like the portraits, Jan. I suppose mine would be Clicker
Live life as a celebration❤️
I do … and I will. Thank you!
A great post Jan. I think you must be a chirping little wren! Full of energy with a big song. I think my tagline would be Fix-it Man or Do It Myself.
I like that! Thanks, Dwight! ❤️👍🏽

We’ll contemplate what we’d assign if we were given the opportunity – and we’ll let you know!
You are a delight to my soul!❤️❤️
Thank you, Sheryl. I’m delighted that I can delight!!🥰

I love that Liam tried to play the saw with a bow. How fun!
Yes, I love his adventuresome spirit, too!

I’ll look forward to it!
