Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.  Ecc 5:2

 My posts here have been few and far between lately (as have been my readers!).

Partly, I haven’t had too many thoughts or events worth writing about.
 

Maybe our culture has it wrong.
Maybe a Twitter about what I am doing RIGHT NOW isn’t really that important. 

I think that we might be better to take the admonition to
“take every thought captive”  (2 Cor 10:5) rather than to instantly broadcast it.

And so lately — my words have been few.
At least I hope so.

I want to be slow to speak.  (James 1:19)
I want to take every thought captive.  (2 Cor 10:5)
I want my speech to be seasoned with grace. (Col 4:6)
I want the words of my mouth and the meditations of my
heart to be acceptable in the sight of God . (Psalm 19:14)

And most importantly — I want the things that I say to be from the Lord —
not from me.

Better to listen.
Better to wait.
Better to speak with authority than with regularity.

goodnight, and merry christmas.
