When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. (Prov. 10:19)
Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. (Prov. 29:20)
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. (James 1:19-20)
the thread title is what i've heard my husband say a hundred times.
he's a contractor, and a bit of a perfectionist, and he's taught the kids that. (me? i don't need to use it. )
but i was thinking about social media, and though this is the only media i use, many of us probably have Facebook, or Twitter, or that new one... Snapchat?
and that got me thinking my posts here (and everyone's on social media) will long outlive me.
my posts can be read by my children, and one day my grandchildren.
one day, in God's timing, i will type my final post. what do i want it to look like?
in this selfie culture we live in, it's easy for me to be all about me.
it's easy to forget God is watching me, and all things should be done for His glory and the good of His Kingdom.
so i'm posting this by way of reminder to myself that i should measure twice; cut once.
think twice; post once.
please add your thoughts as you wish, and of course, scripture.
