PACIFIC BEACH, Calif. (BP)--Today was an awesome day. It was a “free day” today which basically means I could have been found in a comma at any given point during the day. As Christopher says, I take whatever chance I can take to fall asleep. It’s true! Tonight we went to a Padres Game courtesy of camera-man Ron. It was a fun time to just chill with everyone. It was also fun getting ready for it because I did Katie’s eye make-up and I used my black eyeshadow. There’s nothing more fun than lots of make-up! We also had a meeting this morning. It has been heavy on my heart all day. We talked about us setting standards for ourselves where watching movies are concerned. I guess I don’t really have high standards for myself because I am so calloused to hearing cuss words or profane language on TV. I also think that it is horrible that I am so accustomed to hearing and seeing these things which I know break the very heart of God. The scariest thing, though, is that most of the time I simply don’t care. What a terrible attitude. I know what I should do and I don’t do it. It’s at times like this that I feel like Paul when he said, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do” (Rom. 7:15).

Verse of the Day:
Rom 12:2
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
NIV

Lord, help me to have a desire to not hear or see things that offend you. Help my mind to be offended when I hear a profane word. I want to know your will for me more than anything and I know that I can’t know it if my mind is clouded with profanity. Give me a heart like yours.
