Hey, hey, that's my Lord your using for foul language. Surely there are other words you could choose.
May it be of comfort to thee to know that it is my Lord's Name as well, and I use it not in vain, nor as any substitute for "foul" language as you seem to assume.
I actually gave it a fair amount of thought and - as ironic as it might seem to you at the moment - prayer before putting it that way.
Your humble correspondent once felt "called" to the Christian Ministry, as many of our Ancestors and a couple of surviving Relatives have before. For a number of reasons I will not bore you with, it never happened, and in retrospect I now see that it was just as well. I have been known to call 'em just like I see 'em right off the top, which has a way of offending people terribly; people like me usually do not live to be as old as I am.
The horses of my passion tend to run away, on occasion, with the surrey of my common sense, and although I try to maintain a Spirit of Peace and a very long fuze, every now and then some jackass will take a blowtorch to it and find the business end, and it can be a while before the smoke clears and splinters of the furniture and broken glass stop raining down on the crater.
These are decidedly NOT the qualities most Churches are looking for to prop up their pulpits and keep the collection plates bountifully loaded.
So let me try to explain it to ye this way, my Brother;
Would not the getting of said "clue" by the said Union (or whoever calls the shots for public schrools of new-age hedonistic heathenism these days) be consistant with the Will of our Lord? If it protected little Children ("...Prevent Them Not")from being turned from the Love and respect of their Mommie or Daddy by an agent of darkness and illusion (you know where they come from, don't you?)then might it be appropriate to cry out for said "clue" for them (and perhaps us all) to our God Almighty in Jesus' Precious Name?
Just where do we suppose most clues come from, anyway?
Where do you get yours? Same place I get mine?
One thing I have learned - the hard way - is that despite the best of intentions, getting "preachy" about my "Religion" to people, especially a potentially spiritually - mixed audience, has a way of really turning them off, and that rather quickly. So I try to keep my Old King James handy, but out of people's faces, and let the Light and the Paraclete do most of the talking most of the time.
Have you noticed perhaps the only poster on this and other related threads trying to refrain from using phrases such as "Whoop A__" and "Take the XXX's OUT!!!" in his commentary, while pleading for restraint from physical threatening and confrontation?
Can you identify 3 contributors here so far who you might honestly call a "Peacemaker" while advocating for "Justice"?
Two? Go ahead; check it out. I'll wait.
...
Yup; I'm still here.
Aw, Come on!; There Must be AT LEAST Two!
If you can't tell who it is I know as Master or follow as best I can as Lord without checking my name-tag, score-card, or bumper sticker...
Then I done blowed it.
And yes, sometimes when I am a little "Wroth" with spiritual - as well as emotional indignation, a curse oft rises from the depths of my old adamic nature to these lips, and I have to bite it pretty hard and fast in order to convert it into a prayer or word of Praise before it flys.
And even then it still might be a little rough around the edges; can't have that happening from a pulpit now, can we?
Not to worry; won't be happening.
But I was sort of hoping that the last word of that post might have tipped someone off.
So please forgive, if you will, a sorry excuse for a Brother in Christ; Although indignant enough over this so as to care little for how some participants in the matter might be offended, you are certainly not among that number.
And hopefully there will be prayers in legion far above our collective indignation over what has been perpetrated on these Families.
Amen?
