Pr. 19 [The Message]

It’s usually better left unsaid. How many times do we wish we would have held our tongue rather than popping off about something. “Smart people know when to keep quiet. They forgive and forget when offended.” [v.11]

Yesterday Patty and I were driving out of our neighborhood. We have MANY 4-way stops, and I have ordained myself a 4-way stop judge, jury, and prosecutor when people roll through them. So, this GUY (not gal) rolls through his sign beating us to the anticipation. I pronounced judgement upon him and was immediately rebuked by my wife. She was 100 percent right. I should hold my tongue and forgive whomever executes their stop sign illegally. It also occurs to me that I am the guilty party sometimes.
