• Prov. 18:20-21 Our little tongues are so incredibly versatile.  On the one hand, they can be as nuclear weapons, set both for death and destruction.  But on the other hand, they can so perform as to yield abundant fruits of satisfaction for our lives as well the lives of others.  Which will yours be?
