Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Proverbs 21:23

Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles.

Have you ever said something that you wished with all your heart that you could take back? If we could learn to stop and THINK before we speak, our lives (and relationships), would run smoother. If we could remember to pray before we speak, (and be obedient to what we hear, of course), think how blessed our lives and relationships could be!

God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:

We had just finished eating a beautiful dinner that my mother had prepared for our 28-member family. As I glanced up at the chandelier over the table, I was mesmerized by the creative handiwork a spider had woven around the prisms and light bulbs. "Don't look up there!" my mother screamed. "It's the one thing I was too tired to clean!"

"Don't look where?" my brother asked.

"There!" my mother pointed. "It's my own personal web sight!"
