A glimpse of how God must feel
I caught a tiny glimpse of how God must feel when someone misuses His name. by Jason Lawrenz
"You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God."
—Exodus 2:7, NIV
I couldn't keep from grinning as I took my seat. Friday had arrived. My favorite class with my favorite teacher was about to start. And just before class, I found out that I got a lead part in my school's fall musical. It was a great day … until I overheard my name. Andrew*, a classmate two rows behind me, was saying to someone: "That Jason Lawrenz is such a … " As my head turned, Andrew realized I could hear what he was saying and he quickly changed the topic, but the damage had been done. No, he hadn't said much more than my name, but the way he said it was offensive, angry and mean. It hurt a lot. I also worried that he'd done damage to my reputation—all because of the way he'd said my name.

yeah....you've gotta be really careful with what you say! And sometimes even if you say something that sounds or is close to saying his name...can really be wrong.
