rant!

Momma Carr has been in the hospital for a week now. She started turning yellow a week ago and in a blessing they said for her to go to the emergency room. She has a blockage in her pancreas, but as test results came back it revealed that she also has pancreatic cancer, if she hadn't turned yellow we would have never caught it in time. It's operable and she should be fine but I am still asking for prayers!I just have to say how impressed I am with Pappa Carr, I have never seen anyone more supportive and optimistic as this man. I only hope if I ever get married I will have a loving husband for 47 years and counting. Mamma Carr is also very strong and I love her just as I do my own mother, she is one of the most important people in my life. I am very impressed with these people!

 I was on a date a few weeks ago and the boy was talking about movies, we were discussing some of our favorite flicks when I would mention mine he would say "oh that movie was great except the language was terrible" I looked at him in response and told him I didn't recall bad language. He then pointed out key scenes and how they could have been "better" then I remembered a bit of language. This has happened a few times just recently, I know that bad language can take the spirit away and if it's causing a problem and my testimony is in jeopardy I walk away. Most times I don't let language get in the way of a good story, I just ignore it usually and I get the benefits of others hard work. Essentially I can enjoy the world but not be of it, I don't mind swearing, it happens! People aren't perfect nor are we expected to be, I tend to let a few curses go every so often when I am super stressed or I stubbed my toe. Not the F word but biblical! I am fully respecting those who would prefer not to hear or put themselves into situations that would damage their spirit, but sometimes I feel like we are sheltering ourselves a bit much.  From my perspective, if I were to become completely offended at every curse every time I heard it, what if in the future I run into some one who is crass, but I can't get over the fact that they swear and I am unable to share the gospel with them. People need to feel accepted, loved no matter what even if they do have a mouth like a dock worker, it's just words.
I hate the F word though, its the only word other than the Lords name in vain that I absolutely cringe at, it has an inflection stemming from pure evil, I hate that word! I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, but that word in movies is usually saved for the ones that are rated R, and I usually don't watch those anyway unless it's educational like Amistad or Last of the Mohicans.
On the other spectrum, a boy that I trusted called and tried to get me to talk "dirty" with him! It was awful I have never felt so used in my life, I couldn't help feeling like "If I feel this bad over a conversation I can't imagine what rape victims feel like" he piqued my curiosity, manipulated, then went for the kill, I tried to get out of it and didn't let it get to far before I managed to hang up. This guy is a return missionary, goes to church every week kind of guy. I was disappointed in him and in guys generally right now, all I meet turn out to be wankers!

Speaking of bad language... Rob and J'ness this is for you mostly
There's this blog where a woman has been keeping a journal of all the things her husband says in his sleep. apparently he is a mild mannered Brit but in his sleep he is super crass! It's hilarious you should check this out! He does say really nasty words, like the F word, but it's not as bad because he is sleeping and usually doesn't talk like that. Don't go to the blog if you are offended by extreme cursing! I breeze over the bad ones and go for the cute ones, I posted some clean ramblings, he talks about the funniest things :

"I demand compensation in cola bottles. Lots of fizzy cola bottles. In one lump sum."

Wife's note: In England, jelly = jell-o
