Sang-froid? Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Allow me to translate:
"Cold-blood? What is that?"

Word of the Day from Dictionary.com

sang-froid, also sangfroid \sang-FRWAH\, noun:
Freedom from agitation or excitement of mind; coolness in
trying circumstances; calmness.

Sang-froid is from the French; it literally means "cold blood"
(sang, "blood" + froid, "cold").

In my own words, I like to think of sang-froid as the peace that God gives me in my everyday life. A peace which transcends all understanding. Philippians 4:6-7

"My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let your heart not be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27
