Read: Proverbs 18:1-8
A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. —Proverbs 18:7
Bible In One Year: Genesis 43-46
We would all cringe at the thought of a mouth full of gravel. But a stone in the mouth can actually be desirable—at least that seems to be true for the cranes that inhabit the Taurus mountains of southern Turkey.
These cranes tend to cackle a lot, especially while flying. All that noise gets the attention of eagles, who swoop down and seize them for a meal. The experienced cranes avoid this threat by picking up stones large enough to fill their mouths. This prevents them from cackling—and from becoming lunch for the eagles.
People have a problem with their mouths too. The writer of Proverbs said, "He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction" (13:3). "A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for blows" (18:6). How many of our troubles could be prevented if we would learn to control our tongues! How much of the heartache we cause others could be avoided if we would guard our speech!
Are you having a problem with your tongue? Try this: Ask the Lord for His help. Think before speaking. Let your words be few. Following that formula can be as effective as a stone in the mouth. —Richard De Haan
Hi everyone.
((((ohioWfan)))), am so glad you're okay, reconnected with the outside world!
Mama_Bear ... cool calendar and reminder of the days leading up to the Inaugural Ball ... thank you.
Wishing all the Finest Freepers a very fine weekend.
May the Lord always bless America, and cause His Light to shine upon us, from sea to shining sea.
Looks like I missed breakfast at The Finest but I did'nt miss that headline on the newspaper...cute!
I'm planning a big Inauguration celebration; Spot and Millie are very excited. Also, they are soooo happy Ms. Beasley has joined Barney.
That's all the time I have today. I'm busy running everything!

THE MAP
A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby.
She wanted to know what the United States looked like.
Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country.
Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby, and said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today."
After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map correctly fitted together.
The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. "Oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together."
This is great Dubya. Thanks.
