Haven\u2019t done this in a while- but today\u2019s prompt for Five Minute Friday from Lisa-Jo Baker, was the impetus I needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

WRITE she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So I click on the big blue W and open a doc and I write. To write is to live through written expression of one\u2019s thoughts, emotions and beliefs. For some of us it is almost the breath of life itself. We are compelled to string these letters together to attempt to make some sort of sense to others who read.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0John opens his Gospel with an introduction to THE WORD.\u00a0 The Word was there in the beginning when it all started, this great big story that is bigger than life, stranger than fiction, full of guts and glory, love and betrayal, death and new life. It is our story, the one we are grafted into.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where our stranger than fiction lives begin to make sense to us. When we connect to The Word. What makes that connection is all those letters strung across time and space that make sense together. How? You say- It\u2019s all about the Who- The Word made flesh, taken out of time and space to walk in this place with us one step and one word at a time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And we speak through these words on the page strung together to offer you a Lifeline to be connected to THE WORD as we are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We write.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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 all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>There was a man sent from God whose name was John.\u00a0He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. T<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>he true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.\u00a0He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-\u00a0children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband\u2019s will, but born of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.\u201d John 1:1-14<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
