Where in the bible does it say you can't cuss?

    Well, I took last week off because I had enough to do besides being on the computer. I touched the computer for approximately 30 minutes....total this past week.  You know what, I didn't miss it. I didn't miss it at all. The only thing I missed was getting on here and blogging about my life. To some people it is ridiculously boring. To others it is hectic.  Which goes to show you, it's all in your perception from the outside 'trying to look in'.
     Here's my life in a nutshell. I'm married to Shane. (we've been together for 21 years and married for 18 1/2). I have 3 beautiful children. Emma (she's almost 15, has pink hair, gets straight A's in her honors classes, has a boyfriend (Ray) that we think is awesome, and she loves Jesus.)  The there's Cameron. (he's 11, he's funny, sensitive, incredibly smart (I still don't know HOW he knows some things), obsessed with James Bond....and he loves Jesus. *Drumroll please*......Maximus. Maximus is the baby. He's gonna be 6 in May. He proclaims to be able to smell fear, speak like a dragon, and he know that his grandparents are secret agents.....oh and he loves Jesus.
      Now with all that being said, you know a 'bit' about us. If you spent one day a week with us you would know a 'little' bit more.  We are not perfect parents. But I have to tell you we are pretty damn good. Some parents may think it is crazy that we let our daughter ride to and from school with her boyfriend. Guess what. We are giving her wings. She has roots. She needs wings. She needs to be able to make a small flights before she makes a long journey.   She has a good head on her shoulders. She has parents that have guided her and that have encouraged her to make responsible decisions.
    We allow Cameron to watch movies that are rated R. Not ALL movies. We check parental guidelines. If a movie drops the 'F' bomb more than once....then it gets a Rated R.   OK....Is the F-word a nice word? I guess not. Why is that? The American people have given this 4 letter word incredible power that still confuses me. Of course some of the people who flip out when the F-word is dropped, don't have a problem with "Oh My God" and "Good Lord".  THAT is something that is NOT tolerated in my home.  Where in the bible does it say that you can't cuss? (it says NOT to use the Lord's name in vain). Don't misunderstand me. We aren't walking around the house dropping the f-bomb as a noun, verb, adverb, Proper noun....a so on. We just try not to make it a big deal when it is said in a movie. (I actually heard it in a rated PG movie the day before yesterday).

    Maximus.....we're still working on this one......get back to me. :)

     To end this little rant (if you haven't picked up on it....it's a rant), I will let you know that The Ragers have problems just like everyone else. We fight over, whether or not someone brushed their teeth, whose turn it is to take the dog out, which movie to watch. We live simply (by choice). We have morals and values. We stand up for what we believe is right. We have social values.  We love each other. We love our neighbor. Most of all, we love God.
