Lent Day 3
The Second Commandment is "Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The Lord In Vain".
What is vain? Figure it out. When we use God’s name are we praying or cursing?
If you ever heard of Charles Barkley, you know that he was one of the nastiest basketball players who ever lived, yet when he gets frustrated, he says something like “God...bless...mah...mutha”.
If we are not smarter than Charles Barkley, then maybe we would be better off to make up our own substitute phrases. If not, just bite your tongue and say a silent prayer instead.
About Me
- Joe
- Life is not about just me, it is about what I can do to somehow make the world a better place. I have to ask myself daily, what did I do today, make someone smile or frown? If I did the former, I am doing my job. If the latter, I have to revisit why I am here. Maybe the frown was the result of something I said for their own good, but they did not accept it. I cannot help that, because you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make the horse drink. That does not imply that I know everything, but I can only speak from my own experiences. Experience sometimes means I have found lots of ways to make mistakes, but mistakes can be the best teachers. Life is choices, I can choose to let everyone learn from their own mistakes, or share my experiences, and by doing so, hopefully help someone avoid the same mistakes.
