Our Words


Hello to all my blogger buddies...
Wow..what an interesting start to spring we have had. A beautiful warm couple of weeks already in late March and into April and then just like that we have some days where it feels like middle of February. But the forecast says warm, warm days ahead. But we knew that before they informed us of that.

Something I have been learning and thinking
about...


Slandering someone or evil speaking about someone is the same as murder. We all know what murder is. But if we could only understand what slandering someone is we would not want to do it just as well as we would not want to murder someone. I heard it this way once. Slandering someone is cowardly. It is like a stabbing someone in the back, in the dark. And someone who murders someone actually has the courage to strike the death blow. It sounds very harsh but God sees murdering and slandering someone the same. The Bible also says that whoever spreads slander is a fool. In Prov. 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Prov. 18:8 "The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the inner most parts of the belly."

I want my words to bless....
