Pauline was an amazing lady in our church who was very much a second mother to me.  She even stood in for my mother in Carie and I’s wedding to light the candles surrounding the unity candle because my mom couldn’t go up the stairs for health reasons.  Sadly, Pauline passed on to be with Jesus  in 2006.

Anyway, someone told me a story about her yesterday, and I had to tell you:

Pauline was driving one day with Patti, one of her closest friends.  They stopped and picked up a friend of her friend.  We’ll call him Dan.  Dan and Pauline and Patti were making conversation in the car as they drove, and Pauline noticed that Dan continuously said the words “Jesus Christ.”  So Pauline says:

“Dan, can you use the F word?”

“I’m sorry?”  Dan asked.  “What did you say?”

Pauline replied, “You keep saying the words ‘Jesus Christ’ with no purpose and as a cuss word, and I happen to have a personal relationship with Him, so it offends me a little.  So instead of saying that…

I’d like you to use the word F@#$%!”
