Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water." I don't think it's pleasing to God.

Too many young people use base language to communicate. Sadly, this laziness is all to often condoned by adults. We must always be aware that young eyes and ears learn more from observation, than heeding the words of their mature influencers. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.'" It made me sad to see how far away from this we've come. My hope is to show how simple life is when we walk with Him. Thanks for stopping by. It was great seeing you again at FCWC.

It's my hope that writers will carefully consider the impact of their words on their intended readers, and on the unintended readers.

I then tell them people just have to use their intelligence to make something without all the language and sex and they can be even better stories.
