Prov. 21:23

Proverbs 21:23 (New King James Version)

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

This is so true.

I was with my family at Lupe Tortillas (mmmmm), and we sent the kids of to play in the giant "litter box" that they have. We got to be on a short date. (she kissed me) There are a lot of people here from the electric comp. working on all the lines that are down. One such man passed by, and while talking on his cell, loudly shouted multiple obscenities in a very casual way, describing the status of his situation. As if I were up "on the box", I yelled out a smart remark. He turned and looked and me, and said, "oops, I'm sorry, and walked on to stand w/ his buddies as he finished the conversation.

Now, maybe I was justifed, however, him and his friends couldv'e given me a hard time, and I would've had to apply other verses, like, "turn the other cheek!" (ouch). However, had I been on gaurd, I probably wouldn't have shouted anything, but instead, prayed for the man to be ok in his dangerous work, and ask God to bless him and his crew for restoring power so that I could eat beans and large Lupe tortillas.

Lord, teach us to gaurd our mouths. Help us to be slow to speak (James 1:19), speak truth in love (Eph. 4:15), hope all things (1 Cor. 13:7), and whatever happens, help us to conduct ourselves worthy of the Gospel of Christ! (Phil 1:27)

The Lamb is Worthy!!!!
