Fun to Hear Again

Two fb friends said the same thing yesterday in different contexts. What makes this interesting to me is that the friends are so different. Different generations. Different parts of the country. Different political views - I think. And yet in relating something about their day, they both wrote, “ . . . the good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise.”


This is a wonderfully southern/Texas phrase that I haven’t heard in years and certainly not since moving to California. And yet it is obviously out there, holding its own and having a long idiomatic life. May we all have the same, “the good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise.”
