CUSS FREE ZONE

I have decided it is essential for this mother to post a thought each week on my blog and my refrigerator for the family to see.  I have a journal that I keep my best thoughts in that I refer to all the time and I think it is time to share.  Here is the thought that is going on my fridge this week.  CUSS FREE ZONE - why this you may ask??  I saw this article in a church news and loved it and I want my house to be a cuss free zone always.  Here is the article:  Apparently, swearing has become so commonplace that when this Southern California city declared itself a "cuss-free zone" for the first week of March, the media saw it as big news.  All the fuss came bout through the efforts of McKay Hatch, a freshman at South Pasadena High School and founder of the "No Cussing Club".  A South Pasadena proclamation that the first week in March will be No Cussing Week was proposed by McKay.  It quoted Mayor Michael Cacciotti saying of the proclamation, "It provides us a reminder to be more civil, to elevate the level of discourse.  McKay said, "My mom and dad always taught  me good m orals, good values, and not cussing was one of them."  A member of the South Pasadena Ward, McKay formed his club while attending middle school.  It now has members in all 50 states, a total of more than 10,000 worldwide.

WHAT A GREAT CAUSE!!!
