Sticks, Stones and Words By Lynne Smith R emember the adage, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? Well, that phrase is not necessarily true, is it? Words. The average person speaks an estimated 860,341,500 words in a 70-year lifetime. To put that in perspective, the average person speaks the equivalent of the entire text of the complete 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary more than 14.5 times in their life. Or the equivalent of the entire 32-volume Encyclopedia Britannica 19.5 times. Or equal to reciting the entire King James Bible, both Old and New Testament, more than 1,110 times. And believe it or not, women are said to speak twice as many words a day as men. Imagine that. Words carry power, yet that power is not in the number of words that we say, but what those words convey. Although our words cannot change reality, they can change the way others perceive reality. Think of the words of Hitler in his autobiographical manifesto of hate. For every one word written in that book, approximately 125 people died. Or consider the inspiring words that our founding fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence, stirring people to create a new nation. Or what about the message of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream,” or the last words spoken by a loved one, long remembered after they are gone. While all profound, none of these utterings speak louder than the letters written in red, for The Bible — the Word of God — still stands as the best-selling book of all time, having sold around five billion copies to date. Lynne Smith is a Fayetteville native who worships with her family at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church. She has a hard-working husband of 37 years, two sons who aim to be just like their dad, two God-given beautiful daughters and two very well-loved grandsons. She is in her seventh year serving as a Snyder MOPS mentor. 14 | J U N E 2 0 2 2
