Eph 5:4
” neither baseness, foolish talking, jesting, which are not becoming, but rather giving of thanks.”

I thot that this verse…cut to the chase….of truly how we should genuinely LIVE !
how we should genuinely THINK….
how I should genuinely LOVE, LIVE, WALK !

What if, what if…we did away with ~  ALL ~  ALL~ ALL….
NIV. =  obscenity
foolish talk
coarse joking
no immoral, impure, greed, idolatry…..etc.

And we just stayed busy about JESUS….talking about JESUS…
Thanking JESUS…..witnessing for JESUS….loving JESUS…..
Worshipping JESUS ?   2012  will be ?????

How would it look like with your wife/ husband?
How would it look like with your kids ?
How would it look like with co workers, neighbors, friends ?
