This week’s Christian Carnival 139 is being hosted by Thoughts of a Gyrovague. (I thought Lingamish was a weird name!) To submit one of your posts from the last week to the carnival you can use this easy form. I really enjoy checking out the Carnival each week and always try to submit an article myself.
Thoughts of a Gyrovague actually. And Gyrovague means a wandering monk. I am not a monk, but I do love to wander and pontificate on just about everything, thus the name.
Error noted and corrected! Looking forward to seeing what you’ve cooked up for us this week.
Gyrovague reminds me of one of my favorite words: saunter, from Old French “saint of the earth” I assume referring to wandering clerics or monks.
It’s a shame “gyrovague” hasn’t made it into modern English. What is its origin?
Shamelessly taken from Dictionary.com
gy‧ro‧vague [jahy-roh-veyg]
–noun a vagrant monk who wandered from one monastery to another.
