Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29

I had taken these pictures yesterday. So, when I got up this morning and read one of my favorite blogs I couldn't help making a comparison.

She was blogging about watching movies and reading books with bad language and her being convicted.

Well, this is what "I" believe.

In this day and age you can't always control the first look, but you can the second. I tell my kids put garbage in and garbage comes out.

I think Christians should know what God wants us to watch and what He doesn't want us to watch and read.

These days it isn't easy, and I watch a whole lot of old westerns. Sometimes it isn't exactly the first choice when I've watched the same Bonanza ten times, but I will not give into watching the Kardashian family.

God does give us grace, but grace doesn't mean not trying. Jesus did not condemn the adulteress, but he did tell her "go, and sin no more."

Boone: "Smile Remi."

Remi Adria: "You smile!!"

So, if we "try" to keep our homes clean, shouldn't we be"trying" even harder to keep our minds clean? I get it! It is hard! But...

"The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever."

1 John 2:17

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Matthew 3:8

Me: "You guys are done with the stairs already?"

Lyric: "It doesn't take long with this many kids."

Boone: "You guys are doing great."

Remi Adria: "Shut up Boone."

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2
