Do you ever curse people?

Are you sure?

Parents don't realize how the things they say to their children, in private or in public,

and I hear some things said to children in public that I think, if they talk that way in the store,

how do they talk at home?

They're not thinking.

They're clueless.

They don't realize the impact.

And I was just not raised in an environment where profanity was used, and I'm very thankful that

I didn't have that intake into my mind. And as a

result, the common way we think of cursing as profanity is not something that has been a part of

my lifestyle. But as I did this study on blessing and cursing out of the scripture, I realized

I do curse, and I have cursed. As the scripture, I realized I do curse and I have cursed as the scripture defines cursing.
