My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.(James 1:19-20)
Why do I have two ears Lord and only one mouth? The better to hear with my son!
As I have gotten older and I hope wiser, I have learned to listen more before I speak. More times than not, I gain wisdom from the one speaking.

Speak wisdom today . . . and if you have to, use words!!!!!
