Comma – Oxford Comma

The Oxford comma represents commas separating a list in a sentence. “I will bring a sweatshirt, blanket, and thermos of hot chocolate to the football game.” The best part of an Oxford comma is the possibility of more, of an extra comma before the “and”.

Comma Series – Conjunction Comma

A conjunction comma is used to join two independent ideas together in one sentence. It’s about what happens in the middle to connect the before and after.

Comma – Clarification Comma

The clarification comma provides import details about the sentence subject. For instance: “The house is my favorite.” vs. “The house, with the blue door, is my favorite.” Similarly, when we take a “comma” or “pause” with God; he provides focus, clarity, and direction. When you’re feeling stuck, lost, or confused; take a “pause” with God.
