A Wholesome Tongue!

I Wrote A Check
With Careless Words
AND
Comeuppance Cashed It

For
I Recognized Not
That Words Have Weight
Until I Was Lashed And Bashed By It!

A Wholesome Tongue
Is A Tree Of Life!
A Perverse Tongue
IS
A Goad Of Strife
Which Makes Life
Bitter And Torn
When We Become The Lambasted Recipients
Who Have Been Basted
By The Bitter Butter
That We Ourselves Undeniably Blasted!

Be A Word Watcher

Wise And True
For
All Words Have Weight
Be It To Energize
Enervate
Elevate Or Excoriate
Good Friend Or Foe
AND
Me And You:

Look ... Before You Leap! 

Think ... Before You Speak!

Trust In The Lord

AND

The Good Word Obey

AND

Speak Peace

Ever Always

For Soon Comes

The Judgment

And

The Glory Days!

HAPPY SABBATH! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Bridle My Tongue!

Lord, I Need Inner Resources

When I Feel Put-upon

When The World is Ruffling My Feathers

When Evil is Grinding My Small Toes

And Everywhere I Turn Is A New Foe!

Lord, I Do Not Want To Be The Complainer

But You Are My Lord and My God

So I Am Making Petition

Against My Mortal Enemy, King Fraud!

Please Help Me, Father

For I Am Listing and

Almost Ready To Turn My Flesh Loose

And Ask You To Grant Me Five Minutes

To Tell One or Two People Some Home Truths

BUT

Your Charge To Me

Is to Maintain

A Quiet and Gentle Spirit Always

So I - of Carnal Mind - am Begging You, Lord

Please Do Not Let Me Send The Holy Spirit On

The Proverbial Roman Holiday!

I Love You, Lord, and I Bless You

For Your Constant Blessing on Me!

I am Grateful, Lord, and I am Happy To Know

That You Won't Reject Me When

 I Descend Into A Momentary Round of Folly!

My Actions, Lord, are not Deliberate!

It is just that Turning My Cheek 

Is Really Getting Old

BUT

Because I Desire To Have You as King of My Soul

I am Beseeching, Lord

Please, Won't You of This Poor Life Take Control?!

AMEN.
