Words

As of today I've decided that I really like words. Words create pictures in my mind and cause my imagination to stretch its limits. (Sometimes into overkill but nonetheless...) This statement coming from the girl who reads quite often and who read in class in the junior high days shouldn't be too surprising. Words tell stories. I love stories. (that's a no brainer...) Some stories have waaaayy too many words than needed, others have too few. When we read Hamlet in English Lit last semester our teacher informed our class that it was so crazy long and what not because in the days when Shakespeare wrote it, he was being paid for every word that was written. Man if I was paid for every word I wrote in any given essay in my Grade 12 year alone, I'd probably be a millionaire or something. Yet half the time, the stuff Hamlet says in his soliloquys is just repetitive of something previous. Looking at society today, have we really changed at all? With all the technology and what not that's out there, communication is faster and easier than ever before. I was thinking just a little while ago about Heaven. When we think of Heaven we often think of it as being one big party and being able to see people of every different ethnic group and origin that there ever was. At least I do...But wait a minute. Do we ever think about the God who lives in heaven? Won't there be experiences where there's no words left and we just worship GOD? I mean we're gonna be in the very presence of an almighty, holy, perfect God. And our puncy human minds can't even fathom perfect holiness because we're soo imperfect. So this weekend as we go about, I'd like to challenge everybody out there who might be reading this to think and consider the Words of God. I think they're more meaningful more full of hope than any words anyone could ever speak.

Some can write a sonnet
to describe in silvery words
The rising and the setting of the sun
...Cause when I try to speak from my heart I don't know where to start...
When it comes to You I'm speechless...I can't find the words there'll never be enough
I'm speechless
Avalon-I'm Speechless
