Do you talk alot? Oh gracious I do! I seem to always have something to say. Gabe is the same way. He just talks and talks about nonsense really. Every once in a while he will get on a topic and I think to myself 'there is that smart boy I know.' (heehee) Kristina is a fairly good talker. She is loud though! She will interrupt you, talk over you, jump up and down, just do whatever it takes to ensure that you are listening to her. (She gets that from her Daddy..haha). Shane is a decent talker. If you don't understand what he just said, give him a minute because he'll repeat himself! I told him just this past Sunday I surely didn't want to be behind him in the line into heaven because whoever is standing behind Shane is going to be there for A WHILE! We all pick at Shane for repeating himself but there have been times that his persistence has paid off. And, at those times, Shane reminds us of this!

I was driving into work this morning and was listening to the radio and heard a song that I cannot for the life of me remember the name, the artist, or anything about the song other than a simple idea that was in the chorus. "What do you have to say?" When you talk do you discuss the news? Your children? Your heartaches? Your goals, dreams? Your achievements? Do you discuss that the police were over at your neighbor's house the previous night? Or, do you talk about the family that sits on the back pew on the left side of the church?
.
We all have many things to talk about. We seem to rattle off at the mouth all day, 24/7. So, I'm thinking, if I do all this talking that I proclaim to do; how many times during the day are my words about Christ, my Savior, my Father? Ouch! I must admit not as much as they should be.

"Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips." Psalm 141:3 What do you have to say today?
