Saint John 1:1 – “In
the beginning was the Word…”
Ah words, don’t you just love ‘em? I’ve watched the
meanings of words be changed, bastardized and twisted into some sort of
babble that only creates confusion and loopholes for the deceitful. Talk
about the Tower of Babel!!! With slang, texting, buzz phrases and the
acceptance of the meaning of words through their misusage, is it any wonder
that most conversations are folks making sounds that have obscure and
confusing conclusions? Words have meanings and life, when we use them
we’d better know what they mean and not be caught in the snare of
having to say, “That’s not what I meant!” or “You
didn’t understand what I said!” USE THE CORRECT WORDS! The
majority of thinking people concur that politicians, in concert, are liars,
thieves and a morally defunct band of exploiters. Yet, there are those
who insist we use politically correct language! “Go fly a kite”,
I say! Say what you mean and mean what you say, that’s the ticket!
Are you SHORE you know what i'm
saying or DA you want me TA repeat it?
Wool then say what you mean and
mean what you say!
