Get Used To What?

Get Used To What?

I heard it again the other day. The dubious piece of advice, “Oh get over it. You’ll get used to it.”

Well, some things I HAVE gotten used to. I’ve gotten used to: EVERYBODY PASSING ME ON THE INTERSTATE… LOSS OF HAIR… BEING OUT OF SHAPE… USING-EMAIL… just to name a few.

But there are OTHER things I have no desire to get used to:

• GOD’S NAME USED PROFANELY, THOUGHTLESSLY
• A MEDIOCRE HUSKER FOOTBALL TEAM
• LIVING TOGETHER OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE
• THREE DOLLAR GASOLINE
• UNDISCIPLINED, DISRESPECTFUL CHILDREN
• 12 YEAR OLD GIRLS DRESSED LIKE STREETWALKERS OR TARTS
• T-SHIRTS EMBLAZONED WITH OBSCENE, TASTELESS SLOGANS
• and a few others.
