There have been several times that God used situations in my life to teach me huge things, but I haven't felt the freedom to blog about them. Mostly because I don't want the people involved to read about my bad heart toward them on my blog someday. The post you mentioned about the African women - my fear would be that somehow that woman would get to my blog and be totally offended. <br /><br />As for Mark Driscoll's language, you don't want to get me started on Christians and language. I tend to have pretty strong convictions about words and language. I agree some with blog you sighted about generations and regions, but there are just some words that are swear words everywhere. We know what they are. D***, F***, S***..... come on. To say it's not vulgar is just to make excuses. And really, people think if they dont swear that non-christians wont listen to them? That's the weakest excuse to "fit in" I've ever heard.WendyPiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067256961268749701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32673510.post-87716343387437904822010-08-30T14:42:19.317-05:002010-08-30T14:42:19.317-05:00Reminds me of a book I read a few years back....
