why is it that the longer the faucet drips
the louder the drops get?

"I need to visit..." drip
"I'll make that phone call later..." drip
"I'll do that tomorrow..." drip
"we need to get together..." drip
"I'll start (not necessarily finish, but at least start) that project..." drip
why is it that empty words 
take up more space and get louder in my mind than words fulfilled do

I am tired of the drips in my life
so I am working to drop the bad habit of speaking and not doing

"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

    keep watch over the door of my lips!"

Psalm 141:3

" So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."

James 4:17
