when silence is golden

sometimes the best thing for me to do is to remain silent

this is one of those times 

'scuse me while I spend some extended time with Jesus...

"Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; 

keep watch over the door of my lips." 

Psalm 141:3

"Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.

People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, 

and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. 

For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."

Luke 6:44-45

"Search me, God, and know my heart, 

test me and know my anxious thoughts. 

See if there is any offensive way in me, 

and lead me in the everlasting way." 

Psalm 139:23-24

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, 

but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, 

that it may benefit those who listen." 

Ephesians 4:29
