The Word.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.  John 1:1-5, NIV

An amazing Discover group from Abiding Hope Lutheran church in Littleton, Colorado joined DOOR Hollywood this week.  One of the main themes was paying attention to the words we use to describe ourselves, to describe others.  It got me thinking about words, and I started pondering the many words and phrases I heard, or read, throughout the week.  Our prayers are with you as you return, Abiding Hope.  Come back someday soon:

….Uuh. “Those” people.  Albert.  Compassion into action.  Dehumanize.  Two hours on the street.  That quick.  Snap.  Identity.  Theft.  La Casa.  What do I deserve?  Arroz con Leche.  Jesus.  Yes Man.  MEND.  Losing our house.  Engine death.  Toni.  Sleep on sidewalk.  See.  7,500 hours of work.  Unified.  More life and soul.  The wrong idea.  Monkey on the ground.  In a van.  73. Broken spirit.  Too spicy Mommy. Security footage.  Organized!  Tapatio.  But.  I.  Love.  You.  A little paranoid.  Downsizing.  Happy Birthday!  The one we were waiting for.  Mobile shower.  GettLove.  College degree.  One eye open.  Greater things.  The face.  Everyone kind of pushes past one another.  Us.  Gwen.  Looked at us weird.  Pluto.  Rode the bus all night long.  Bless.
