This momma is not ignoring evil!!

We just received the swimming pool in the mail today that we had ordered.
 And  adorning the front and back of the box is a big picture displaying the swimming pool. And  it showed people in the pool to show the size and all. And of course it had women in the picture wearing bikinis.

  Not surprising to me though, because I have seen that many time on sale papers advertising swimming pools, and I have seen it before on other pool boxes we have had.
 But this time I did not just ignore it. There was my kids all excited about the new pool, and hovering over the box checking it all out. And there was the women in their bikini tops staring them in the face.
 And i didn't like it! Not one bit!

  So i got me a black marker and went to color in the ladies' tops. But my marker was nearly out of ink, so I came up with a better idea, duct tape!! ( yep, that wonderful duct tape)  I riped off  pieces of duct tape and stuck them on the tops or each of the ladies.
 The kids of course seen me, and asked what I was doing. "Oh, just giving the ladies some more clothing", I replied.  When I was done, the ladies looked a whole lot better. And the kids agreed with me too.
 Now they can enjoy looking at our new pool in the box, and not have to see something offensive while doing it. And I feel better! Much better!!  :)

   Also just recently the Wal-mart advertisement came out in the mail. In it was a big summer section. And of course there was several pictures of women scantly clad showing off the swim wear. I am not sure if I spotted it before my boys or not, but when I did spot it, I quickly took the whole section and crumpled it up and threw it away!  There is no way I wanted my boys to fill their eyes on that kind of trash!
   Why in the world should I, as a God fearing Mom, allow that kind of stuff in my home and around my precious family.  Their hearts,  souls, and minds are far to valuable for that.
    I guess that stuff is considered normal, and we are suppose to turn a blind eye to it I guess.
 But not me!
 To me it is ungodly and evil. ( I believe everything that is not a part of God's purpose and plan, is evil)   And I am instructed by the Word of God to hate all evil, and to protect my children's heart and minds.
 
   The world wants us to immune our selves to that kind of stuff. The world wants to think that it is normal and right. The world wants us to be comfortable and ok with it. The world wants us to think immodesty and indecency is beautiful and attractive. ( in my eyes it so very completely ugly and disgusting)

   I have not found any where in my Bible that says we are to over look and ignore evil, or to harden or immune ourselves to evil, or to think it is normal or ok.



  If you have enjoyed this post please take a few moments to leave me a comment and let me know. Or if you would like to add to what I have said here or share Bible verses on this, I would love that too!!

May we all stand for what is right and pleasing to our Lord, and to put evil in it's place.
 In Him,
