Back and with a filthy mouth

Well once again I have been slacking on my blogging duties. So let me outline what I have been up to as of late and then on to my main subject (as things go the “been up to” part might be longer then the main subject.). 

As of late I have been studying. I have a new plan laid out and have a lot of dedication. Things have been working out rather well even tho there are some things that need to be tweaked. I began a regular weekday with reading, writing, and math.  Write now I am reading Revelation All of GOD’s Word Revealed! by Brian Young and have finished Ron Paul’s Revolution A Manifesto. Revelation goes down verse by verse and connects the other prophetic books for a clearer picture with out preconceived ideas (i.e. pre trib., post trib.). I love John’s Revelation, it’s simply one of my favorites. You might not be able to find out the hour or the day but the Bible says nothing about getting close. A matter a fact Jesus uses this as a picture, “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as it’s twigs get tender and it’s leaves come out, you know that Summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door”. (Matthew 24:32-33). But I am going down a rabbit trail. Writing is a thing I enjoy but I have to have something I care about in order to right about which is not very easy. Blog writing about my day and constitute it normally but I feel like I am sort of cheating so I have been writing ideas down. It does not make much sense to anyone who is not  me (which is everyone) but it makes perfect sense to me. Math is getting me hard since it is my number one zone I struggle in the most. I am making head way and pressing on. Other things I try to do if I have time is practicing a new hobby I have taken up which is harmonica playing. It’s a little hard since I forgot how to read sheet music and anything really is hard for me to learn. But I am getting there. 

Outside of studying I have vastly improving my photography by focusing in on little things that make a shot. Also photo editing is a key. Getting the right colors to match not only the mood but the feeling as well. If your a photographer you know what I am getting at. I am wanting to go out more and get pictures however my weakness (the fear of man) has been getting in the way. It’s really a foolish reason really but I just don’t like going out and getting pictures in this town. Maybe city photography (which I love a bit) is just not my thing, or maybe to the contrarily I am not trying hard enough. Give it a little time and maybe I will come around. I am trying to convince my father to go on more walks with me so I have someone to be with while I am getting pictures but since the cooler days will be bearing upon us soon I don’t that will happen. 

So that’s what I have been up to. Not much really. Now I want to share my main topic (which I just figured is only just a little bit.) in my study tonight I have figured that I have not had the cleanest tongue. I have been letting little swears come in more and more in my life. My family’s policy is and has been no swearing.  But I have been letting little ones in once in a while and my sinful side has been giving me false assumptions that it’s a bit of a good thing. Im not a “pole up his but” Christian. But today in my reading I read a verse that has smashed my sinful assumption. 

But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free,: but Christ is all, and in all. 

-Colossians 3: 8-11 

This chapter is addressing conduct among Christians. Filthy communication jumped out at me when I read my daily reading. I understand the times and culture aspects of what stands as “filthy communication” but I think words such as s*it, f*ck, d*ck, b*tch can still be considered foul in American and indeed in a much larger scale Western culture. The word on this list I have been struggling with is s*it and it’s been slipping out more and more. I have not been saying it in casual conversation but I figure I should nip this one in the butt before it becomes a real problem. Please pray for me in that area. 

Well that pretty much raps it up for me this time. Hopefully I will get back on this blogging ball and sorry for my- er wait, I don’t have any readers. haha. Next time I want to focus on the next wave of government bail outs. That should be fun eh?
