Yesterday I went to play badminton with some church friends and met my classmates on the other court. Later, during the session I swapped to their court. One of the guys played very well even by using his left hand to compete with us. But sadly I overheard too much swear words from the girl next to me...and the shallow-joke between them.....well, that's what I call suffering.
Now I am preparing for the bible study I will lead tonight which is on Ephesians 5:1-21. I felt so lucky that I am surrounded by a group of Christians most of the time and I can always live in the light that shines forth from God.

Eph 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. (NIV)

Well, swearing still exists among our Christian. Last year I received a strange/rude sms message on my mobile from a friend. This person called me last week and tried to "clear things up", and he asked me not to be angry with him when he comes back to our church. I said I won't. As long as he can forget the bad thing happened to him I can forget too. If he can come back and listen to God's words. What a joyful thing it is!
