The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. - Proverbs 18:21
It's been a long couple of days. Yesterday I received an email from someone that I love dearly, this email was sent to me solely out of love and conviction. It included some very hurtful and false things about myself.
Why is the tounge so powerful? Why is it used one mintue in communication with the Father and the next in bitterness and hate towards a brother or sister? It is a huge reason why there is so much destruction within the body.
The Word tells us in Ephesians 4:29 to not let any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths, that is so hard. Do we ever truly get to that level. Do we ever arrive at the point where we hate sin so much that all of our words 'benefit those who listen' ?
I pray that we live in a way that our lives reflect a life that is journeying towards that goal. That we can honor the Lord with every word that comes out of our mouth.
JourneyOn...towards rightousness...

The blessing of a friend...
I had the honor of having lunch with two of my best friends today! Matt and Scott (sorry Scott...I didn't post a picture of you, I didn't want the girls overflowing my comments with 'dang hes hot!')
Today was a reminder that certain relationships/friendships are created in Jesus and therefore made to last.
I know I do not see you guys as often as I used to, but I love you to death. These friendships are not only strong but eternal. I love the time we spend together and always look forward to the next!
Until then...
