it's me again!!!!! :) yay...
surprise, I bet you'd never think I'd be posting on this blog? It' not like I'd ever done it before. Yeah, so I'm excited to go to CO! It's gonna be a blast. wow Brittanie married! Who will be next? Who will go down the aisle next? will it be me? will it be you? will it be Graham? I hope Graham gets a wonderful woman of God, he deserves it. I hope I do too. well I guess if I marry her she will be, eh? (that "eh" was for you Canadians:) ) Because I will never propose to someone who isn't someone I want to spend my life with, duh! Am I talking? Sometimes I will go off and have a converstion with myself, you know, ask a question you already know the answer to. Maybe you don't know but I do, that's all that matters right now as I am having a "conversation" with no one in particular. gee maybe I should shut up?
I'm so pissed! I forgot to ask off work tonight so now I'm missing an awesome concert that woulod have been for free. And I just heard on the radio that, like, a bunch of metal bands that I like are playing. Shit man, I'm pissed. Not really angry, just really, really bumed. Man, hanging around with a lot of non-christians takes away the stigma of swearing. I find myself swearing a lot more now. I guess I should stop, it is offensive. And counts as "filthy language" from my lips. Fuck it. LOL Just kidding, I thought I'd use the shock value of it to make my point. Sorry.
Well, it's been fun but now I must go and play bedtime for real and sleep.

hey, i hang out almost entirely with christians, and i swear too....has nothing to do with being christians or not. my opinion about swearing is that like any words, there is a time and place for it. i mean sometimes people really are bitchy and so on. it's the unnecessary swearing that’s fucking pointless (see that was unnecessary). i have a neighbour in my building who uses "fucking" every other word, and he just sounds so....i dunno, foolish i guess. i like to refer to him as my fucking neighbour... after his favorite word..... anyway i'm babbling here.
and i want to find someone wonderful to marry! sounds so nice to have that all settled....knowing who your going to marry. oh sigh....all in Gods timing.
iw ould really like to see graham married to someone really wonderful.
where exactly is the line between unnecessary and necessary though? is anything truly necessary? will people hearing you know that it was a totally necessary situation or will they have the same view of you as you have of your neighbor?
your right. Although, in certain company swearing is acceptable and not out of the ordinary. Also, I feel that, even in some christian settings,swearing is appropriate when quoting someone. There are those christians, however, in whose company I would never swear for any reason so as not to make them stumble. I look at it SIMILAR to the eating food sacrificed to idols passage. It's certainly not the same but very similar. Like drinking alcohol, some christians believe that is a sin all by itself. I let them believe that, even though I know it's not, it's not important enough to cause divisions in the Body.
Remember what Paul said? He said he wouldn't eat it AT ALL because his brother stumbles because of it. He knew it was safe, but they didn't and that';s more important.....looking out for others, not demanding your own rights. Oh how un-american of me.

oh i love it when you're un-american, jason!
you know, the more i think aobut this, and my own use of swearing, the more i think maybe there is actually no reason for me to do it. the reasons why i should not swear i know very well, and my liberty in Christ to swear also i know (i am more likely to live within liberty), but i suppose there is very little good reason for swearing. sometimes i think i need to really emphasize a point - this MAY be true, but im not even sure. so now i think - why dont i just not?
hey what was that deleted post? now I'm curious!!!
and yes what pure joy would flow from my soull to Graham on that blessed day he marries!!!!
no offense to anyone, because i don't care if people swear, but for me often when i hear it i think of the fact that it seems as though those people can't think of anything more intelligent to say.. whatever the situation.. i dunno. it's the whole thing about paul telling us to say away from filthy communication. what's filthy and what's not? and when you think of some swear words and the true meanings... it's good to think about what you're actually proclaiming upon saying it...
jason - the deleted one was almost the same as the one i posted, except it didnt make much sense. i wrote it and then realized that it was kind of jumbled, so i clarified and reposted. :O
i think i have decided not to swear because this post has made me think about it so much.
gee-wiz! I didn't think my blog would cause such a discusion, it's really kind of neat.
i have found that when ppl post things that are not merely aobut daily life or funny, but really more deep than the norm, that i really think aobut them a fair bit. God evne works through blogs! gee, what'll He come up with next?
