Tried to Love, But….

Another typo.

Trying to end a message to LJ4 with this —

Love,

Dad.

— but what appeared on my screen was —

Live,

Dad.

— You can say that word so that it rhymes with “5.” Suddenly my closing to LJ4 could be understood like a line from an old ad about somebody to appear at five “Live and In Person!”

Or, you can say it the same way I read it at the moment, so that it rhymes with “give.” Now my typo has become a call to action, inviting us to intentionally “Live.”

As in like let’s take Christ Jesus up on his offer to make us fully alive, like he says in John 10:10b.

Ready?

Set?

Live!
