I also find myself going right ahead and saying things that I am being prompted NOT to say. That is just AWFUL. I am so, so grateful that I can repent and be forgiven. I am trying to learn to keep my mouth SHUT.Susan Shullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035270581759561020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-54119895128982567202013-01-29T18:59:54.031-05:002013-01-29T18:59:54.031-05:00We will be reading that verse tomorrow when we sta...We will be reading that verse tomorrow when we start James! Boy am I quick to speak and slow to listen! But, like you, I hope I am improving every day as I pray that God will remind me that I'm the only Bible some people will ever read! That scares me most days!nancygraycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288996419936475583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-9438514747963174422013-01-29T18:49:47.324-05:002013-01-29T18:49:47.324-05:00Rebecca Jo, love your blog and your outspoken Ital...Rebecca Jo, love your blog and your outspoken Italian blood...You have a desire and joy for the Word... that is evident.

But I am very short-tempered and quick to speak too. Something I need to work on too. In fact, I'm doing the SSMT too and my goal is to memorize the entire 1st chapter of James, so this one will come up for me a little later in the year.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-86618152034047273262013-01-29T09:47:08.500-05:002013-01-29T09:47:08.500-05:00Well, let's just say that I often have a hard ...Well, let's just say that I often have a hard time keeping my big trap shut...even though I think I have the best of intentions.
