I'm still loving my new job over here. It's been quite fulfilling and has helped me to enjoy my day to day life much more. I'm so blessed!
One thing I can't stand though is the profanity. From some of my new co-workers all the way down to the students, I cannot stand how people just sprinkle their conversations with curse words. It's like I'm back in college.
Being salt and light, I of course insist on people correcting their speech around me (and the kids do get written up for it). Yet the mere fact that I have to say something on a regular basis makes me kind of sad. Are we that far gone as a society that we don't even care about what's coming out of our mouths?
I hate how reality television is perpetuating the trend also. You can't watch any of these shows without hearing the beep of the censors blocking out words. Now our award shows have to have one to two minute delays just because they don't know what people will say during a live broadcast.
We are really that far gone.
The one thing we can do, saints, is to continue to train up our children in the way they should go. We can adjust our mouths so that only sweet conversations comes from out of our lips. We can also impact the world around us since we are to be the sweet savor in the earth.
Don't allow the negative speech in your presence. Insist on others speaking to you and around you with respectful words. And continue to keep our nation uplifted in prayer.
Only God can save us.
Verse of the Day: Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Colossians 4:6
