Speakers will often use the term "filler." This word indicates that someone is using a specific word, phrase, or action as a crutch when they feel that they or their information is incompetent. Rather than expanding on the topic at hand, a filler serves only to confuse a matter and disperse good arguments across a speech. It could go something like, "Pink bunnies are....ummm....ya know....really....awesome....ummmm...ya." Fundamentally, these crutches crowd crucial time with information that is non-essential. Pretty much nothingness.
Now, imagine for a moment that our life is a speech. Everyone is given a few minutes, but it is their choice what they say. Recently, I have been challenged on what my speech (or rather, my life) is conveying. Is it attesting to the One of ultimate importance or is it filled with fillers?
"Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity."--1 Timothy 4:12
Tis my two cents for the week. =)
