On Monday, Mary and I were in the office and one of the pastors came in and told us something that was quite disturbing and sad.
Before I could stop the flow, out of my mouth came:
"Shit on a shingle, what the hell?"
Wanna be humbled? Spit out a buncha swear words in front of the pastor.
That'll do it.

Before we were married, Rich and I went on a mission trip together to Mexico. We made a secret plan to meet up late at night to *GASP* neck.
Pastor Larry TOTALLY busted us. I have always wondered if he did it on purpose or if he just happened to find us by coincidence. Of course, now that I write it out, I think I know the answer.
Richard saw your neck before you were married? *GASP*
That type of language, Noser is more appropriate for Papers and Sarcasm or Puzzles and Sarcasm.
I think my husband almost reconsidered marrying me after I said a few things that were absolute taboo in his world and meant nothing at all to me. I don't think I'd call those "swear words"--not bad enough to ask a high school English teacher to pick a new book for sophomore reading like I did this week, I draw a dark line at using God's name and the name of Jesus Christ, over and over--maybe inappropriate or vulgar would be better.
Nonetheless, did he make you chew on a bar of soap?
LOL Keithslady!
Yes, I agree, those are vulgarities, not as my children used to say, "swears". I don't ever take the Lord's name in vain, althogh I do occasionally use the "vulgars", just not generally in front of the pastors! AUGGH!
Oh, by the way, what was the book?
Not to worry. I have had this coversation with Larry before, and he has assured me that he truly believes "swearing" is not a sin.
If you were Catholic you'd have been made to say 10 Our Father's and 2 Hail Mary's.
Hi Katie! That was weird.
It's called, "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. It could be a good book, take away the dozens of times they use G__d_____ and the name of Jesus Christ, try to overlook constantly saying s___bucket, and then put up the musings of a girl going through puberty and her frequent observations and descriptions of her and other women's anatomy it might be just what you want for your 16 year old son! Oh yeah, and given that the book description talks about it being a divine celebration of female power or something like that, I just don't have any use for it.
So what did Pastor say?
All I could say when this came rolling off of Kristi's tongue was 'Bless her for she knows not what she says!' Amen
