slowly pecking away

while driving, yet again, up hwy. 49 i saw a bunch of buzzards hanging out on the side of the road. in the middle of the lane was a black feathery mess. apparently, one of the buzzards was hit by a car. a few of the birds flew over and sniffed around the carcass. but quickly hopped away.

Psalm 34:13         
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

even that buzzard knew not to eat the flesh of its own. so why, why do we as sisters & brothers devour each other with lies & gossip. we are slowly pecking away at each other.


Proverbs 19:5     

A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.

scripture is very clear about those who enter into this evil. think before you speak~

T~ is it TRUE?
H~ is it HELPFUL?
I~ is it INSPIRING?
N~ is it NECESSARY?
K~ is it KIND?

i am always careful what comes out of my mouth & guard my heart. i challenge you to remember to THINK before you speak!
