I was driving around in The Beast yesterday listening to some a mix CD.
Steppenwolf’s Magic Carpet Ride started playing and I decided that it was probably my favorite song.
I then realized that this was the fifth consecutive song I had decided was my favorite.
This got me thinking about superlatives and how overusing a word can dilute it’s meaning.
Like “love”
Jesus loves me.
I love my mom.
I love this pizza.
I love to sniff my cat.
The first one really got me thinking. What does it mean when I sing “Jesus loves me, this I know”
Then I read John 21:15-24
You know, where Jesus forgives Peter for denying him. Give it a read.
