Okay, so I’m a little stuck on this whole theme of God as the Word—Gospel of John, chapter one. All of a sudden, these marvelous things seem to carry a little bit more weight than simply “oh, you just find those in the dictionary.” I mean, I wouldn’t be doing this blog if words didn’t exist.
Running with that, I decided to make out a list of these splendid little things for the purpose of your own personal encounter with them. Read. Meditate. Take them in. Experience them. They’re alive! I sense the presence of God in them. They are like little seeds He’s shooting out into the garden of our humanity!
