Profanity


Thought provoking thoughts are always in evidence on one of my favorite blogs. Check out Holy Experience @ http://www.holyexperience.blogspot.com Ann is a Canadian writer who always makes us think!

If you've read my profile you know that I enjoy Elisabeth Elliot's writing. Here's a quote of hers that resonates with me. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!

“Profanity. Not swearing.
I'm not talking about breaking the Third Commandment.
I'm talking about treating as meaningless that which is freighted with meaning. Treating as common that which is hallowed.
Regarding as a mere triviality what is really a divine design.
Profanity is failure to see the inner mystery."

  1. Hey Pilgrim David..
    I just got back from your George Muller's site.
    Quite often I go down there to read about your hero because he is such a great man.

    Well, I could not believe my eyes when I read your November 3, 2006 post and then read the comments.

    Who is that guy, name of "Brodie"?
    Did he ever give our Pilgrim Pal David a tongue lashing!
    Man!! He tells YOU not to grow "weary in well-blogging"!
    For sure and then he tells YOU to "BLOG ON!".
    Oh the shame of it!
    Isn't THAT the pot calling the kettle black?!!...from Terry
