It's such a great goal to try to do devotions every day. I know I would struggle less with so many things if I did that. There is a great speech based on James 3:2-10 by a leader of my church that I think you would like. For me, the angry words at my kids are so hard to control, and it breaks my heart. But I thought this was a good read: http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-690-7,00.htmlNatalie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10463944619586110995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-7761471115006264462007-09-22T23:37:00.000+03:002007-09-22T23:37:00.000+03:00PS - my kids are younger.

And I have no problems with turning the magazines around in Wal Mart or other stores. I also feel very strongly about saying things to the management. My 5 year old is reading and the last thing I want him to be reading outloud in a store is S*X.This Journey of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439816307696068907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-44075731943333772952007-09-22T23:35:00.000+03:002007-09-22T23:35:00.000+03:00Seriously - good grief, to the one who is anonymou...Seriously - good grief, to the one who is anonymous. You can take it up with me. Lori was in no way being judgemental or rude or unkind. <BR/><BR/>Foul language is what it is and even those who speak it all the time, would agree that it is still foul.<BR/><BR/>No one is perfect - NO ONE. We all make mistakes, daily. But asking us to clean it up a bit and try to watch what we say, especially in front of chilren??? What is wrong with that.<BR/><BR/>Sorry Lori for being so strong in my comments. However, I found Anonymous rather annoying to leave such a rude comment.<BR/><BR/>I give you full permission to delete my comment if you feel it only causes problems!This Journey of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439816307696068907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-88695275391357810502007-09-22T20:57:00.000+03:002007-09-22T20:57:00.000+03:00I agree it's so nice to be treated like a lady sti...I agree it's so nice to be treated like a lady still. My hubby opens doors for me all the time and his sons have learned from him. They hold open the doors for ladies all the time. I'm so glad my boys have a good role model in this area of how to treat a lady and take care of her. I know I sure enjoy being taken care of!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987152286939791842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-75543359001543074602007-09-22T01:20:00.000+03:002007-09-22T01:20:00.000+03:00i am not perfect either, but i do think as an adul...i am not perfect either, but i do think as an adult, i am in absolute control how talk in public. it has always bothered me when adults talk in a vulgar way around children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-62938079314568981042007-09-21T19:48:00.000+03:002007-09-21T19:48:00.000+03:00Well, Lori, once again, I agree with you. I, too,...Well, Lori, once again, I agree with you. I, too, have "those" moments when unwanted words slip out, and I truly do believe it's a habit that is "contageous". I try to correct myself and do not allow the children to say curse words (believe me, tons of kids do and their parents don't care). I do have to say, however, that even though I dress very casually and seem very casual in my lifestyle, somehow men still regard me as a "lady". Very few men, even my husband's rough-around-the-edges friends do not curse in front of me and when they do, they appologize immediately. Most men still open doors for me and I have taught my girls to always say thank you to them for this, loud enough for them to hear. I think that encourages them to keep at it. Also, I think being a "lady" is a matter of demeanor, behavior, and attitude, not looks. I am pleased that men respect me enough to watch their speech in front of me.Mylindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815825491178384308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-26488190378240643502007-09-21T18:52:00.000+03:002007-09-21T18:52:00.000+03:00Anonymous,I'm sorry I offended you.

Unfortunately, curse words do slip out from my mouth from time to time, a sad reminder of my life before I accepted Christ.<BR/><BR/>My purpose of this post was to open a discussion of the fact that public cursing (and other forms of vulgarity) is now socially acceptable. I can't imagine that anyone would find that a good thing. It used to be that swearing would be resorted to only in extreme cases - not it's part of many people's everyday vernacular. <BR/><BR/>A while ago, I was grocery shopping in Wal-Mart with my two children. Two women, who were on opposite ends of the produce section, were literally hollering back and forth to each other about what they were doing, with the F-word in every single sentence.<BR/><BR/>Once upon a time, women were proud to be above such behavior. I just wish that there were some way we could turn back the clock to a time when people considered the feelings of those around them.Lori ~ The Simple Life at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917249803574298362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-71413470741778263032007-09-21T18:12:00.000+03:002007-09-21T18:12:00.000+03:00If only we could all be as perfect as you and neve...If only we could all be as perfect as you and never utter a curse word or doing anything wrong in our lives.
