This deal with speaking less and therefore having less sin is so hard. I spent a lot of time today doing pretty well - talking less. There were times when it was at the front of my mind. I would find myself wanting to talk but I would think "Is it necessary? is it true? why am I wanting to say this?". And when that was in my mind I did in fact speak less. But then by the end of the day I was right back at it. I was having fun with some friends and quickly my words were many and now as I look back at it - so were the sins of speech. This is frustrating.
This last few weeks of focus on this has proven one thing to me - I'm not near as good as I often think I am. And without grace I would be in deep trouble.

A preacher trying to cut back on his chatting... is it wrong that made me smile?
Good luck with cutting back. I think I have to work more on what I say than how much I talk, since I never was very chatty.
