I have a bad habit of talking to my myself, mostly bitching and complaining to God about the slowpoke in front of me in traffic or the choices of XW. Throw in a few cuss words now and then, It's really gotten bad.
Well I was at a confirmation mass Saturday (sponsoring two young men) when the scripture readings began, and I got hit by the proverbial 2X4 by of all persons, God himself !
James 3:5-10
"5 In the same way the tongue is a small member and yet has great pretensions. Consider how small a fire can set a huge forest ablaze. 6 The tongue is also a fire. It exists among our members as a world of malice, defiling the whole body and setting the entire course of our lives on fire, itself set on fire by Gehenna. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. This need not be so, my brothers."
Just thought I'd share that.
