I appreciate all my fellow bloggers who are following me here from around the globe. One thing I love about this thing called blogging is how we can be connected in a very unique way. We can discover more about ourselves by seeing the lives of people from different places from Australia to Zimbabwe and inbetween. My world view has been expanded by some great bloggers who have shown me the places they call home and in their communities. I wish you peace and grace my friends from far away. I hope and pray for peace and that we will have the freedom to keep on blogging no matter where we are.

Identity
Ones identity is a highly personal thing. We make up our identity as we go along by the experiences we have. It changes us, informs us and perhaps colors our view of ourselves and others. Assuming an identity means changing who you are. Perhaps we should understand ourselves before attempting to understand others. Just saying.

Suzy Bogguss – Outbound Plane
We saw award winning country music performer Suzy Bogguss last night at our Riverbend Festival. She was a part of the 1990’s country scene with a string of really well done hits. Take a little trip back in time with me to enjoy one of my favorite songs of hers.
The “F” Word…Lost Shock Value Of Profanity
In conversation with my wife this morning I used the “F…” word to describe how I felt about something we were talking about. No I didn’t use it in relation to her…that wouldn’t be cool but it made me think I don’t use a lot of profanity. Perhaps we have let profane words like the “F…” word become so common place it has lost its power to shock and surprise. Using such words should indicate disgust, displeasure, frustration…not being used as nouns or adjectives. Some bloggers and writers will use curse words like they were putting ketchup on fries or salt on popcorn. If we were more selective about how we use such words perhaps it would mean more.
Our vocabulary is full of words that can express emotions and feelings better than profanity but sometimes there is no substitute. Perhaps you have read things where the words used to blast someone or some thing were impressive and far more effective.
So, when you least expect it I will use the word itself instead of the censored version I have used in this post and that is when you know I need to get my point across.
What do you think?
