When my son was ten we were doing a project on the barn The nails were going through the 100 year old boards. Told him it wasn’t the word he said. (He could yell alligator or aluminunm ) God saw what was in his heart. He understood our confusion and frustration
When he came home from working on he fishing boats in Alaska at age 20 he reminded me of the conversation and said “Mom I’ve learned some grown up words!”
It’s not what comes out of our mouths but what is in our hearts. The only words that offend me are calling upon the Lord because of our own vanity.
Damno is a Latin word meaning to stop and yes there are times I deeply desire God to Stop some evil or evil person. So .....
The Lord and I often have conversations that sound more like cussions on my part. I can complain and he knows what’s in my heart even if I didn’t
Your children are lucky to have you :-). My wife was and still is so patient with our kids.
I heard him say the shyte word, many times, but did he take the Lord’s name in vain tonight?
