God,
I want to break down
every barrier
that separates me
from You.
I want to lay out before You
the parts of myself I love,
and the parts I despise;
the parts of myself that are healthy,
and the parts that need healing;
the parts I feel secure enough to speak of,
and the insecurities
I haven't the courage to share.- The Gentle Weapon
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
