Don't Get Plutoed!

Dear Loved Ones:

 Recently I came across this article.  “In January 2007, the American Dialect Society chose "plutoed" as its 2006 Word of the Year, defining "to pluto" as "to demote or devalue someone or something", "as happened to the former planet Pluto when the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto no longer met its definition of a planet."

 Society president Cleveland Evans stated the reason for the organization's selection of "plutoed": "Our members believe the great emotional reaction of the public to the demotion of Pluto shows the importance of Pluto as a name. We may no longer believe in the Roman god Pluto, but we still have a sense of connection with the former planet."”-  Associated Press (Jan. 8, 2007).

 Have you ever been plutoed?  We live in a society that so easily devalues us if we don’t have the look, or the smarts or the “gravitas”  to be seen as “successful”.  Often times we “Pluto” ourselves by devaluing our selves and see ourselves as less than what God sees us.  Truly being “In Christ” gives us a true sense of who we are.  

Actually it is all we are.

Take a moment and look on The Well’s web site.  Under the grow section you will find a box to look up scripture verses and phrases.  Look up “In Him”, and “In Christ”.  That is who you are.  God will never “Pluto” you!  In him you walk and breathe and find your very being.  You will find your place in the Solar system when you put the “Son” in the center of your universe.

Grace and Peace,
