Today's Devotional: When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. (The Holy Bible : New International Version. electronic ed. Grand Rapids : Zondervan, 1996, c1984, S. Pr 10:19)

The Bible suggests that there is a time to speak and a time to be silent. We are probably better off holding our tongue, when we are not sure.

Today's Comments: As I wait for my transfer to the State Military Reserve Chaplain Corps to be approved, I was reminded by the Senior State Chaplain, "keep a low profile and don't volunteer anything irrelevant." That advice goes right along with this proverb. Holding the tongue in check, as we well know, is one of the most difficult things in the world to do. I can tell you that it is especially difficult for me. But I am learning. I pray that I will not forget.
