Paradigm shift...

of the good sort. I feel new these days.

I realize that this is vague, and that I haven't written in a while.

I'll elaborate later?

Ok seriously...this needs to end.

I have a new pet-peeve:

It's the Christianese phrase "love on." As in, "we're just gonna go love on them...etc." It's usually used when describing short term missions endeavors to people at church.

My problem with it: it sounds wrong, and its users sound slightly crazy when they say it. What even does it mean? What exactly does "loving on" someone involve? Did we ever define it?

I think it's just one of those phrases that everyone picks up because they hear other people saying it. And in that process, it's come to mean something different to each person. This bugs me. I know that all language is subjective, but Christians need to work at defining their words and think about how much jargon is helpful and how much is harmful.

I can't be the only one who's disturbed by "loving on." It's such a weird thing to say...
