Wrapped in Words

Language fascinates me. Even the contradictions and tweaks.

I spent a good 20 minutes today wasting my life on: Facebook Lexicon which is quite fun if you get bored.

I get a lil edgy when people start using Thee and Thou, especially when talking about God. To my mind, He's the closest Father ever and so for me, a cry to Daddy will suffice. I think I need to be careful with my words, (James talks a lot about my tongue...) people who grow up calling their Dad 'Sir' have a strange distanced relationship, then again, who am I to pass judgement? I just know I must go back to the beginning... 'In the beginning was the word' and get that intimacy back, that 'Abba Father'.

words and phrases are vehicles of meaning, and meaning is what we all crave.
