Oh yeah, I was also going to tell a “cussing story” of my own:Back at Thanksgiving, I was with my hansubd’s family in NJ at a family gathering. As we were leaving & saying our goodbyes, one of Dan’s uncles by marriage said, “your boys are really good boys. And you’re a hell of a mom. A hell of a mom.” (wow, he even repeated it for emphasis) I was thinking that maybe I hadn’t been wearing Christ very well if he didn’t realize that might not be an appropriate way to compliment me, but if a preacher can have something similar said to him, then I guess I’m safe. I never knew I’d be sharing that story.
