Guest guest Posted June 4, 1999 Report Share Posted June 4, 1999 Dear Jeanie I hope you can keep posting your bon mots. I for one enjoy them. We do need to have laughter in our lives. Their was one poem how ever some one posted a few weeks ago that had the F word in it missing a letter or so but it was still the Nasty word meaning sex because it was ment to rhythmed with the poem. So I didn't finish reading it an it spoiled thei whole poem fo rme. This is when the Delete does not come in fast enough because you have already read the ofensive word. I like to try to keep my thoughts positive and using such words are not positive in nature to me.I use the scripture in Ephesians chapter 5 verse 4 and I will first use the King version which states " Neither fifthiness,nor foolish talking ,nor jesting which are not convenient but the giving of thanks. " This is the principle in the bible to follow when speaking. In case no one gets the idea from the old English was of conversing. Here it is in the New World Translation " Neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jeating things which are not becoming but the giving of thanks " So I guess what I would wish that humor or poems be kept clean. Gee, does this mean that I can no longer forward some of the hysterical bon mots I receive? I'd hoped they were lightening the general atmosphere of frustration, pain and misery that our mutual malady (RLS) causes us. I like your spirit and it infects me.And it also refreshing to see some one using the bible and reminding us of the principles with in. Each day God gives me is a blessing. . I'm full of joy at just being group Just this morning I read in Proverbs 20:3 " It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. " I don't know why but it seemed to fit somehow. Jeanne (fast approaching 72 on the 21st, I'm a solstice child) and Mr. Biggles in Poultney VT where the sun is shining, the birds are singing and everything is green and beautiful. for now my limbs are at peace but who knows what the next five minutes will bring. I don't care, I'll contend with it when it happens and meanwhile Mr. Biggles and I will enjoy the day!! Jeanie Stout with out Mr Biggles who is he any way? ________________________________________________________________________ _______ ________________________________________________________________________ _______ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
