Synoptic

Synoptic - Synoptic means to have a similar view.  Too look at things in a similar way.  It usually refers to the first 3 Gospels of the New Testament - Matthew, Mark and Luke who take a Synoptic - or similar approach to the life of Christ and are referred to as the Synoptic Gospels.  But it could also be used to refer to my friend and I who take a synoptic look at quilting or my husband and I who have a synoptic view of finances.  I'm going to spend the day trying to use Synoptic in my daily speech.
