“On The Power of Words”

Words are things….
I’m convinced!
You must be careful about the words you use….
or the words you allow to be used in your house.
~~~
In the Old Testament where it told in Genesis that
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD
AND THE WORD WAS GOD
AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD
That’s in Genesis….
Words are things…..
You must be careful,
careful about
calling people out of their names,
using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives and all of that ignorance,
don’t do that!
~~~
Some day we’ll be able to measure
the power of words.
I think they are things.
I think they get on the walls…
they get in your wall paper…
they get into your rugs…
in your upholstery…
in your clothes…
AND FINALLY INTO YOU
