Innocent....simple...

Innocent, simple....

I recently went to a movie thAt  has been advertised as family oriented....not for me....at all...

I guess I fall into the label as "prude" when it come to some things...I don't like "potty" jokes, porn magazines for teens, scantily clothed women/teens flaunting themselves before others....and feel uncomfortable about topics which need to be addressed but not at the dining room table.

There seems to be so many mixed messages/signals in society...we do somethings and then wonder why crime exists..we produce certain graphic materials and wonder why there are addictions...evil exists....and good has a bad name...openness for some but not for good...

What is bad, is good and what is good, bad...it has been going on the eons of time, but with our high tech society, it seems more blatant and out there for all to see and participate in...

Help me to follow good even when it is not popular ....to seek good, not evil, to think good, to seek You wisdom and not be drawn into the pleasures of the world just to fit in....
