Just a quick word about another thing that makes folks weird. Have you ever said or heard someone say they love some thing? A car? A boat? A job? A house? Yep, you've heard it and probably said it yourself. I know I have. However, I've started re-thinking this. When you say you "love" something, that means that you hold that in highest esteem. It takes the place of all others. To say I love the church denomination to which I belong means that I would die before I would change. Hmmmmm? Well, I'm not falling on that sword! I like my Jeep, my church, even my job, but none of them enough to die for. In this, you are the weird person for using that language. We're too casual with it. We love everything. NO! I love my wife, my God, and perhaps even my country. Do I love my Jeep that much? Nope. I enjoy it. So, if you find yourself in agreement with this short post, you will start working on this on a regular basis. I'm not trying to expunge the word "love" out of my vocabulary. Not at all. Actually, I'm trying to elevate it by prizing it so much that it is used to signify exactly what I'm meaning. That's it. Love, but understand what that means and use it wisely.
