om-goodness

The other night I read this. I felt that I needed to make a post about it.
In real life I would never take the name of the Lord in vain, that holds true for the cyber world also, BUT I have and do from time to time type out those three little letters *omg*. I try not to use them in public sites such as the blogging world because most people use those letters to mean oh my god, but when chatting with my group of cyber friends who know me well(we have been chatting and posting together for over 7 years) They know that when I write it out I mean Oh my Goodness. They just know me well enough to know that I love my Lord and would not turn His Great name into phrase like that.
After reading this little devotional on Sunday I thought what if I had typed that out in my blog and people read that and thought i just said what the 3 little letters are meant to say.. Even though that isn't what I meant, I don't want people who don't know me thinking it is what I meant.. I'm not going to go back though all my post to see if I did ever say that, but I will think before I type and overcome my laziness and type out * Oh My Goodness* from now on instead of trying to save a few seconds and using omg(goodness). This way there is no mix up or no mistaking what I did or did not say.

That is probably smart. You never know who is reading your blog, so better safe than sorry. I always just type Oh my gosh, which is worse that omgoodness, but still better (to me) than the other.
