I left that one out on purpose. I figured since I restrict comments to be G Rated that I should probably do the same to myself. And indeed I think it would be more defining, there would be a definite distinction. Luckily we are not and it makes living up to that expectation of citizens of heaven even that much more of a challenge. Haha! I left that one out on purpose.
