Words are a heritage given to us to bring life into the world.
When words are perverted they bring death.
The "Word" became flesh and d welled among us
My love of words is a part of my love of life.

Nice post.
I have never seen anyone display the dictionary like that. I bet you had a household where the parents always say "Go look it up in the dictionary!" I did and we didn't even have a display for it. Plus, I always said "If I don't know how to spell it, then how can I look it up?"
I love reading dictionaries and learning new words and checking on meanings
