May my words be wise not foolish!

May 24-
I was reading in proverbs yesterday. Proverbs 18
The insight I received.
vs.
2 Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.
4 Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.
6 Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating.
7 The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips.
8 Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.
12 Haughtiness goes before destruction; humility precedes honor.
13 Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.
14 The human spirit can endure a sick body but who can bear a crushed spirit?
15 Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge.
17 The first to speak in court sounds right—until the cross-examination begins.
19 An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
20 Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction.
21 The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
24 There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
Much of what I gleaned from this was the power of my words. I pray I become wise in my speach and not a puddle of trash.
My Words bring life or death, as do each one of our words. This is sucha convicting and helpful reminder. Be wise with your word. Build up don't tear down.

Weather:)- It has been very warm here in the 80's!
My sister is having a baby, soon i will tell you all what it is. She is not due until October. We are very excited to have another little baby in the mix. That will be 14 neices and nephews for me. They range from 23 to 2 years with a little one due in October. Im a Great Aunt already my neice who is 23 has a 2 year old. I say i have the title I deserve:) LOL!
I really enjoy my family eventhough they are nuts most of the time.
Idol update(5th Qtr Idol that is): we are down to 5 and this week we will get down to the bottom 2, for the finale next week. Some of the kids are predicting the winner.
