I loved that Lisa called it the Z effect. easier to remember. Fun that the sentence you highlighted I posted with a glaring mistake in it but got it corrected before it was mailed out. I wrote we are incomplete with God. ouch… three little letters made quite a difference. But his goodness and completeness saved the day and us too. Have a wonderful weekend!

Interesting concept isn’t it Martha? I have several people who normally don’t comment to me, say something in person to me about this idea. At least we now know we are too crazy when we act that way. too crazy, just a little, LOL

Love that you called this the Z effect. Since I read your comment I have been calling it that too. Make sense, doesn’t it?

(Now that you’ve introduced it, Jean, I’m sure to hear it mentioned over the next few weeks, just as you have! I wonder if anyone has studied THAT effect: once something finally registers in your brain, you’re primed to pick it up here, there, and everywhere!) ‘So appreciate your spiritual application of the Seigarnik effect: “We ARE incomplete without God – the Zeigarnik effect on the mind and the God effect on our souls.” Oh, yes! His completeness–his effect on our souls–brings joy and peace, hope and comfort!

The first novel in my first trilogy ends with a bang of a cliffhanger – and people’s reactions? So mad they couldn’t read more right then!
As for the email check in the morning – guilty as charged – although I will weed out what I don’t want at that time and save any blogs I want to read until lunchtime. It’s a good practice for me as this schedule takes the pressure off having to read them right then.
Great post, my friend!

Being one who doesn’t like uncertainty, I have made up a lot of stories in my head to finish the plot. 🙂 But like you say, the better plan is to let God finish the story! Thanks for sharing this, Jean. Interesting stuff!
