mojo.

I had this dream recently that involved a few friends, me getting married, and a bunch of other random events at the end of which we ended up giving a friend the nickname Mojo. The next morning I woke up thinking back over this and laughed at the silliness of the dream and didn’t think much more of it, other than constantly calling this friend Mojo of course in a mocking manner as he is generally that kind of guy that always has a few girls in tow.

A few days later I was talking with him and a handful of other people about this event and as we were talking through it we wondered if perhaps it could be related to God, and having mojo for the Lord.

I’ve been thinking about this, and even looked in the dictionary for a good definition for mojo. What I discovered was that mojo can mean a variety of things, some good but most of them not so much. I can say that how I always thought of mojo was the sort of energy or aura you produce that kind of draws other people to yourself; it’s your mojo. The slang dictionary does have one definition as “Power; or charisma.”

So if our mojo is of the Lord, then the thing that is constantly drawing others to ourselves is in actuality..the Lord? Maybe letting your light shine brightly for the Lord is the new definition for Mojo? God calls us to be salt…and to have mojo for him?

Hm. A whole new twist on things.
