MY NEW SWEAR WORD

I don’t cuss any more. When you get born again, your vocab does, too.

But “stuff” still happens in life which requires, nay DEMANDS, a verbal rejoinder.

“Shoot!” just doesn’t get it. “Dang!” is old. “Phooey” is dated.

But I have a new one, and it’s Politically Correct, multicultural and celebratory of diversity.

It’s what was for dinner the other night at a fancy restaurant:

Bok choy.

Say it! It’s satisfying! Bold! Expressive! And, like all tasty Chinese veggies, it’s clean.

I can see the bumper sticker now:

“Don’t like my driving? Call 1-800-BOKCHOY.”

Prayer request: There’s a young man named Thomas who is suffering from sleepless nights and having a lot of worry and anxiety over his upcoming transition to a faraway college. Father God, teach Thomas that You can be His Father anywhere in the world, and that this change in his life is going to be the best thing that ever happened to him. Calm his soul and draw him closer to you, or else his mother is going to go crazy! (Philippians 4:6)
