So this is something that's been on my mind and something I'm going to ramble about...don't expect it to be intelligent or thought provoking....
When it comes to language what is considered too far? Who says that the "bad words" are bad? This is something I just can't seem to understand. I've gone back and forth on the issues. When I was a little girl, when I said the word stupid or shut up or poopy head I got spanked and my mouth washed out with soap. Liquid soap. It was gross but that still wouldn't stop me from using those words. Now they're main staples in my vocabulary. Does that make me a horrible person?
As a Christian, where is the "appropriate" place to draw the line? I know that throughout the Bible we're warned of having an untamed tongue and the damages that they can cause. It also talks about how we're not to be like the world and how we are to be different from the world in what we do and say but if I'm joking around with one of my friends and I call her a dirty whore and someone over hears the conversation will they automatically think I'm a horrible Christian and write me off as a lost cause? These are the things I don't understand....
There's been a lot of things on my mind recently. With all the mistakes I've made in my past, all the horrible things I've done and knowing that I will stand accountable to God someday for that scares the crap out of me. It also makes me thankful for the grace that I've been given and that despite my transgressions, God still continues to bless me with things and people I do not deserve. I'm a blessed little lady.
