How Sharp Is Your Tongue?

Whenever I speak of my neighbor, the tongue in my mouth is like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon who wishes to cut between the nerves and the tendons.  The stroke I give must be neither more nor less than the truth.

(St. Frances de Sales from Introduction To The Devout Life)

  1. I always admire the people I know who never say anything bad about anyone else, no matter how reprehensible the person may be.

Got A Buck? - Get This Kindle Book

If you care about the salvation of souls (your own and those you love) get a copy of  Accompanying A Dying Soul . It is a brief but powerful read and spiritual aid.  

Don't Stay As Your Are!

…The Lord accepts us just as we are…After the Lord accepts us as we are, He refuses to accept our staying as we are.   He calls us to repentance and growth in holiness…The Lord invites everyone to His wedding banquet. All are to come as they are, but not stay as they are.   We must put on the wedding garment of righteousness and holiness, or we will be bound and thrown ‘out into the night to wail and grind our teeth’ (Matthew 22:13). Come as you are to no longer be as you are!   One Bread, One Body – January 15, 2000
