Proverbs 13:3-4

"Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything. Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work..."

"He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin."

"The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied."

It's really hard to do, isn't it! Alan Smith talks about how hard it is to keep our mouth shut using a humorous story about a police trooper and an English professor.

Can you keep your mouth shut? Even though it can be very difficult, we must learn to control our tongue or it will cost us.
