dear emily,
while playing bridge with some friends, one asked if any of us had seen any
good movies. another friend recommended a comedy. i begged to differ,
mentioning that it had a pretty strong "R" rating. she countered with the
thought that it was hilarious and really only deserved a mild "R" rating.
i spouted without thinking, "you're either "R", or you "Rn't."
love,
lea

You, my dear Lea, are a Most Wise Woman!
I agree 100%! Love they way you put it, haha. Enjoy your day!
Oh you are too cute. I like the verse from Philippians, one of my favorites, actually.
The Holy Spirit is expressed through your God-given humor! I wonder if I could possibly keep your great line in mind against a future similar opportunity...
Right you are! And r'nt you clever! :)
See what I mean?? Your comments are just what I'm talking about! You are IN that ladies retreat, sitting right on my row! :)
Well that is so true. :)
That's funny! I love the fact that you were playing bridge :-) It gives a picture of a cozy bunch of friends.

Playing bridge. Seems like another world to me.
I am not sure about the ratings ... who sets the ratings, do you trust their assessment? I don't take any notice of them. I look up the reviews and decide on that basis whether a movie is worth going to ... not that I go to many.
Your scripture verse is a good one to bear in mind.
I vaguely remember that even "The Hiding Place" had an "R" rating. One certainly should do his or her homework before seeing a movie where the images and ideas contained therein will remain.
Hi Leah~
You always make me smile!!!
I am back among the living! Would love for you to drop by!!!
Blessings!

There's very little any more that gets a G or PG rating. And, while I can handle a wee bit of language, most of the R stuff is either overtly sexual or violent - - neither of which makes for a gentle & quiet spirit.

So true, so true...I think my old fashions ways are showing more and more..with my wrinkles
Oh laughing at your visiting my new blog..sorry, I can't seem to get it up and going...another thing to do with age!
Have an awesome weekend...
A movie can be rated 'R' for a lot different reasons, but when a comedy is rated 'R' it's usually not a good sign. (Maybe I could rephrase that...it "rn't" a good sign.)

If your not linked to google+ then it would be a setting in your profile letting your email address be used. Do you get responses when you comment on other blogs?
I like the idea of you playing bridge. I used to enjoy the thrill of concentration of the game. My brother taught me. Now my head isn't fit for that challenge anymore, but I still like to read the Norwegian bridge magazine. Some of my friends are still hanging on.
I wouldn't exactly know what an R rated movie is. I presume it's content isn't fit for children, and by that I'd take it as a sign "not fit for Christians" either.
I think we gradually are getting used to watching a lot of filth.And filth is rubbing off on the watcher. It's so sad really how we are seduced inch by inch, step by step.
