Swearing creates Wrinkles & I have proof!

This is to anyone who commonly curses, whether it’s you or someone you know. People need to be warned before it’s too late, this is very serious. Many of us don’t see people who swear as cool or flattering, in fact, what my family sees is kind of frightening! This vulgarity surpasses any good looks or charm a "common curser" may think they have, so please, before you swear in or around my family, just know that this is how we see you…


Sorry to be so graphic, but even in the middle of all this is a lesson. As a parent I look to almost every situation to catalyst a life lesson and “wow” with altheimer’s Grammy we have several. But the swearing, oh my. The kids call her Grandma “Blank blank” and actually tell their friends who curse that they remind them of Grandma. The kids who know Grammy suddenly realize how unattractive they are or how unintelligent they sound. Not too flattering when we realize using swear words only mean that we have as limited a vocabulary as an Altheimer’s patient. Can’t we be more creative than an old woman that knows a dozen words!?

Or let me plead to your vanity… Grammy has aged 15 years since she started her “cuss fest” 6 months ago… something to be said about the faces and wrinkles we make when we swear… look in the mirror… “your face might stick that way”… Grammy is just in her 60’s…

So ONE MORE TIME… and Parental Guidance may be needed for this, but it must be known what swearing does to you… Here you have Grammy before and after "CussFest 2011"


Pass this on to someone whose language can be as offensive as Grammy’s! Certainly no one wants to sound this unintelligent and no one wants to age this quickly!

    Holly:
    Thank you for this entry. Our drama ministry had to address this issue through a short play for church. Yes, even church going people can have that horrible habit. We all need to guard our lips and tongues in order to make ourselves more Christlike.

    And thank you for your comment! We all have so many things we do without even thinking about it. I hope Grammy sparked someone out there to stop swearing. I figure once we realize it, it is an easy fix... just pick a different word! After you haven't been around it for awhile, you think differently about it. Thank you for being another Shining Light, it does matter what we think, say and do. Blessings!

    Thank you David! It may be a bit harsh, but truly we all look like that, especially as we say "GD"

    Holly, you are such a blessing in my life. I wish I found you a year ago! I'm now looking through your older posts.

    I swear A LOT and have fought for my "right" to swear. Until recently God showed me that although I have the right, and the free will to do so, I'm hurting my own spirit.

    And now reading this, it has really helped confirm the need. I'm giving it up! Pray for me!!!!

    Thanks so much Angell, none of us are perfect, but yikes... this should make it easier to stop swearing! I appreciate you sacrificing for your family, sometimes it seems like we stand alone... like the "Farmer in the dell" LOL Prayers on their way and Thanks again!
