Zephaniah and Zombies

Finishing the A to Z challenge with 2 words for the letter Z.  First of all, thank you all who visited and those who faithfully commented on a lot of my posts throughout the month and a big thank you for those who commented on each and every one of them.

For those who have a faith, Z is for Zephaniah 3:17: 

The Lord your God is with you; the Mighty Warrior who saves.  He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.  

Remember, he is the Mighty Warrior and he will fight your battles.  You just need to be still and know he is God. 

For those who might have  a faith some day (and might not, and that is okay too), Z is for Zombies:  

One of the games grandson plays is called Plants Versus Zombies.  It is kind of a cool game, better than some other ones he plays.  The zombies are coming to attack and the plants have to kill them.  One of the weapons used is a pea shooter (shown on the left).  I found the definition for the pea shooter online:  The peashooter is a toy version of the blowgun or blowpipe. It is usually a tube that launches its projectiles via blowing. As the name suggests the normal ammunition is peas, though other seeds, fruits, improvised darts, or wadded up paper can also be used.

Of course they would make a pop-it toy with the characters (as well as plushies and so much more).  


Just be careful out there and avoid the zombies or if you can't, make sure you have your pea shooter with you.

And that is a wrap!!

  9. Thanks for sharing that verse. And I recognize some of it from various praise songs. I have heard of that game, but had no idea what it was. My grandkids have lots of those pop its, too. Though theirs are pleasant things like hearts…..hahaha!

  10. We have enjoyed all of your A-Z entries. Today makes me smile, remembering the first Zombies I ever heard of I was probably 10. I looked for them and wondered. BUT of course these words SING:

  16. Zephaniah is a great 'Z' word! This prophet escapes my memories somehow. Great verse to share! I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead and TWD spin-offs but video games don't appeal to me. Congrats on crossing the A2Z finish line!

    1. I haven't seen the Walking Dead or spin-offs. Might have to catch them some time! I know I'e read Zephaniah a few times as I try to read through the Bible every year or so but right now other than this verse, the rest of the book escapes me with what was written in it :) Thanks for visiting!

  29. That is a great scripture. Thanks for that Betty. I will have to make it a memory verse.
    I liked reading your blog. I'll have to drop by once in a while. It's great you stuck through it. I ran out of steam at the end. But I'll keep blogging random things that come to my mind. Hope you drop by once in a while.

    1. It is a good memory verse indeed! I will stop by your blog too! The A/Z challenge is a hard one to get through. It is a bit of a grueling schedule. The first year I did it I signed up 3 days before the event and had no idea of what to expect. I made it through but it was a long month! Maybe you'll attempt it next year if you decide to!

    1. Thanks Debby! This is a favorite scripture of mine! I wouldn't be surprised if James ends up playing this game down the line if he is into playing video games. It really is one of the cuter ones that Grandson plays here.
