I must confess to a severe case of poverty. I never took a vow of poverty; it just seems to have worked out that way for me. I am so poor the church mice have packed their bags and moved on. If I knew where they moved to, I might join them.

all of a sudden, I heard some words that were offensive. They were 
saying curse words that I have never heard on TV before. I have always 
believed that if you have to use curse words, it is because your 
vocabulary is drastically lacking in intellectual responses to the 
world around you. 

Here is my dilemma. Why can you say curse words on TV, which everybody
knows is scripted, but you cannot say, “Have a blessed day,” without 
getting fired? 

If I was in business I would want my employees to greet my clients with
a cheerful, “Have a blessed day” and not some awful curse words. 

I was complaining about this to a friend of mine who explained to me
that curse words on television are considered “literary license.” Who 
is paying for that license I am wondering. 

All of this has to do with the PC syndrome in our country today. The
problem is what was PC yesterday is no longer PC today. Who knows what 
tomorrow's PC will be. 

What I cannot accept is the fact that being crude and rude is PC and
saying something nice is not. Have we reverted to the caveman 
mentality? Is being nice is no longer acceptable behavior? 

I like what David says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is
within me, bless his holy name” (Psalms 103:1). 

Perhaps the reason people are offended by that phrase is because they
know that only God has the power to bless. If I am being blessed by 
God, I am going to turn around and bless people around me. 

So, for those offended by that phrase let me say, “Have a blessed day.
And fire me if you dare.”
