Things I have learned Day #9-10

Since I forgot to write Friday, I have 2 for today


#9. Watch what you say

As most people know I love to talk. I talk about everything. It is how I process everything. But lately (this past week) I have just been reading and talking to Catie watching what we say. One morning last week before I went into work, I randomly opened my Bible and read a verse in Proverbs (I forgot the verse) that basically said the person that speaks will get into trouble while the person who is silent is wise. And that verse just made me think, "should I be quiet more than I am?". So I thought about that all week and randomly Catie and I had a conversation about the same thing. It has just made me think again about how much I say. The Bible speaks a lot about controlling your tongue. Maybe part of that is just learning to say less and listen more (which Proverbs also speaks on frequently as well)
