I have been on the road since 8:00pm Thursday getting out of Summerville, GA. I symbolically shook the dust off of my shoes. We drove for 3 hours and stopped about 11:15pm in Forsyth, GA for rest at the Best Western. This morning in my hotel I read in my quiet time something really relative. Talking about being careful about my words, and how I choose to used them.

A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to cme back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.

Matthew 12:36-37 (The Message)

Our words give a lucid picture of the condition of our heart as in Matthew 15:17-20. "Out of the heart the mouth speaks." I pray that God will help me choose my words this day and guard my heart.
