Whatever...

The word on her T-shirt was whatever... at first I thought, great - attitude on a t-shirt. For awhile now, 'whatever' has been an 'attitude word,' meaning whatever it is you're talking about, is just not important to me, or worthy of my attention, or you know ... whatever! I don't like it. Although I admit I've heard it come out of my mouth a couple of times, meaning just that - whatever you're talking about, I'm not interested in dealing with. But I have tried really hard to not use that word, with that attitude, tone, and meaning ... because I don't like it when it's said to me.
But then, I noticed there was something else printed on her t-shirt ... Philippians 4:8... Oh, now that changes everything ...

"whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

yea, whatever!
