I said the "F" curse
musicman:
Last year I was teaching in such a lousy school that the F bomb was often the first word I said when my alarm would go off (Sometimes, I would say it many times). During some of the rougher moments, I was audible enough at work for some of the students to pick it up. They can even read lips. Happily, I am at a much better school this year, and I'm glad to be getting up in the morning. I still drop it from time to time with friends and today I gave the double one fingered salute in traffic, but I do feel a bit ashamed each and every time. I still have a long way to go.

Sis Eileen,
You're right on that sister, "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" is also one of my struggles. I've tried to overcome many of my bad habits and behaviors but many times I fail. I know that anger is a sin and yet I get easily angry even on petty things. Although I don't use cursing or "F" words as you call it even when I'm angry, but the mere fact that I'm angry is really upsetting me. This is really a struggle for me. Patience is still very far from my vocabulary eh but I’m trying. I really need God’s grace in this area.
God’ grace be upon you,
Joy

Hi Eileen. I know 'em all and can string them together in formations that would make a pimp blush. At least your concience is operating and you are not just swearing out of complete ignorance.
God is not shocked. He knows what it is in you. It's a good thing that He showed YOU. Nothing that is in you today is different from what was in you yesterday except some added insight into your carnality, and some added desire to be rid of it. That's not failure, sister!
Now go wash your mouth out with soap, and pray for the rest of us while you are at it. :D

Hello Musicman,
The Freckle Girl and I are notorious for our traffic antics, hopefully in your case you didn't take your hands off the steering wheel while driving in order to accomplish this task; ;D Sometimes the Freckle Girl will tell me something while driving using her hands to help express the communication and be looking at me too, it's a frightening experience at times, but we are still alive to this day; ;D ;D ;D
Kind regards, Samson.

Eileen,
Hi, Dewey & Paula here. I have not seen one thing in scripture that says it is a sin to say any of the words that you think are bad. I would just think of it as bad language. Now, if you were to start using God's name with any of those words, now that's bad. Of course there is always the exception of it being sin or wrong if there's someone present when you said it and they were offended.
There is also something in the scriptures about wasting your time with idle talk. And pray without ceasing. This is my hardest thing to do. My mind strays. A straying mind is the devil's playground. Ahhh what the heck - back to reality. There's only been one good man. To me when something like that happens it's like the Lord showed me how weak I really am after I say that I will never do this or that again. I still slip up. Every time I slip, I think of Peter telling Jesus " I'll never deny you".
So, with all that said my most repetitive prayer is for faith and I believe that that is the most important prayer that a human being can pray. Without faith that the Father gives us, we would not be able to pick up the other side of the yoke. According to scripture, Jesus said take up my yoke for it is not burdensome. What this means, Eileen, is that someday you won't even know you stopped sayin' it until it hits you about how long it has been since it happened.
Just our two cents worth
In the Spirit of Jesus
love y'ans
Dewey & Paula
Goin' out on a limb for Jesus 'cause that's where the fruit is
