I don’t have a problem with profanity if it’s artistic and emotional. Swear words need to have a purpose. I didn’t used to cuss but as I have gotten older I have said what the Hell, let’s express myself. It’s a part of not trying to please everyone all the time. Righteous anger is righteous.
To me, the way Christians treat others sometimes is way more profane than any cuss word could be.
Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer, fasting, and repentance. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter.
I will be observing Ash Wednesday today at my church. I also have to figure out what to give up and/or take on as a part of this 40 day journey to Easter.
I love this so much. Santa is welcomed into the home of a Jewish family celebrating Hanukkah. We need more of this sort of thing in the world.
Hebrews 13:1-2 Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
