That's been the hardest not to do b/c it's such an easy expression (especially on text and twitter) But I don't think Jesus would have walked around saying it so why should I! I gave up Facebook for Lent!

But I do like the idea of participating. Maybe I will next year. But I feel the same way. I pray everyday that people can see Christ through me, but sometimes I let a bad word or two slip. It's something that I've been more self conscious of lately and something that I am really trying to eliminate from my life completely. Good luck! I'll be praying for you :)Lia Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300930714382104628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-48912939576358089432012-04-17T13:54:42.434-05:002012-04-17T13:54:42.434-05:00You are so right about this.

I don't cuss much but find it more likely at work (lotta guys too) but you are right, definitely not needed and not very Christ-like. I love the mantra of the No Cussing Club, I'm sure there is truth in that. <br />We are Catholic and I used to give up sweets but the past few years have been trying to add something (like daily prayer or Bible reading) instead of giving something up.<br /><br />Good luck!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971452292683370931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-71764364178935701262012-04-17T12:09:32.405-05:002012-04-17T12:09:32.405-05:00I tend to have a slight potty mouth at times.

I never flinch anymore when I hear a curse word because it's basically become part of my everyday. But it's not honoring to God and it's not the kind of language I would want my children to use. <br /><br />Thanks for this.Danielle https://www.blogger.com/profile/14472582071045116526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-35926103181226258732012-04-17T10:45:46.795-05:002012-04-17T10:45:46.795-05:00We are seriously on the same wavelength!

While it might sound cool or funny to say, I also realize I want my children to be raised in a swear-free home. Scott is big on not using foul language and always looks at me entirely confused when I do use it...granted he slips up too :-) <br /><br />We both try to not do it, so thanks for the daily reminder to keep working at it!Claire Beekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336934392882383318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-82397533682608677152012-04-17T09:30:21.421-05:002012-04-17T09:30:21.421-05:00I'm definitely up for joining the club.

My husband and I keep each other in check by pinching each other when we say a curse word (not too hard though!)- but we should also be mindful of the negative words we use.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865447225691316841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6854389253351284318.post-57993511730011208372012-04-17T09:14:33.445-05:002012-04-17T09:14:33.445-05:00I really like Sarah's comment.

O...I used to work with a lady who was a former nun. One day she heard me say something profane and she said something that has stuck with me forever and changed how I spoke with conviction: she said, "Sarah, your mouth is too beautiful and you are too beautiful to have such filth come from your mouth. It is not attractive." I have always remembered that and very quickly changed what came out of my mouth. We are to be examples of Jesus...and I'm sure only beauty came from His lips. That is reason enough. And really, it is easy to stop once you do it for awhile. You then start to see how ugly it really is when you hear others use profanity.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870727586415760333noreply@blogger.com
