Today was pc tune up today @ Cajun clickers computer club and while working the 2 computers running windows updates and I checked my emails and I did a little reading in the word in James 3:1-12 about taming of the Tongue.
James 3
Taming the Tongue
1Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
I read 1-10 ,the I stopped to go check on the process of the two computers and see if both of the computers were ready for the next thing on the check list,but while I was checking on both computers and while I was checking on the pcs I started start thinking my tongue is so unclean , out of the same mouth that I use to encourage my friend with,when I get in a situation or not around my friends either @ church or Highland coffees or around my apartment.....,but if I am in a situation or around people that drive me up the wall ,or around one one of my computer buddies and they are yacking about the people that us both up the wall my mouth because unclean.I started thinking I am horrible .
