I spend most of my time around college age people. To make matters worse while I'm at school most of my time is spent around college age guys, who are also Midshipmen in the Navy. Needless to say I swear. I swear a lot. I'm actually trying to stop swearing but the road is proving difficult. When I've allowed myself to take the easy way out in life for so long that I can't help but slip up. So far I have made it two days with only one swear-word slipping out of my mouth. I can only hope I will be able to continue that as my quest for self-improvement continues. I know this post is short, but it is 23:30 and I am tired. I'll leave you with this verse:
You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil?
For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
The good man, out of his good treasure, brings forth good,
and the evil man, out of his evil treasure, brings forth evil.
I tell you on the day of judgement men will render account
for every careless word they utter;
for by your words you will be justified,
and by your words you will be condemned.
Matthew 12:34-37
Non Nobis Domine sed Nomini tuo da Gloriam
