Loaded Words
Some words are simply loaded. These words are emotionally charged and there are a thousand things you could say about the word before its even fully registered. For example, the word "home." Another example could be "free," or "change," or even "Christmas." I believe the aforementioned words are universally loaded. However, there are also individually loaded words, the words that zap my emotions and not yours. The reverse is also true.
Most of my loaded words, whether universal or individual, seem to slide into either positive or negative slots. This past weekend I experienced a neat thing. One of my loaded words stood up and walked across the road from the bad side to the good side. The word was "family," and I know that God was responsible. There was no way I could have carried that "word," across the road. It was simply too heavy and it seemed to reside quite comfortably where I had stored it.
What are your loaded words?
Have they ever relocated without your permission?

One of my loaded words is fish emulsion. Fish emulsion is put out by Bragg, the same people who use the same exact bottle to sell amino acids, and who can tell which is which? I'm sorry about your grandmother, and hope you made it through everything. Just think, our retreat is coming, and I have a couple surprises in mind!
