Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.
Proverbs 17:28
I
am a person who talks way too much. Sometimes so much that I am
annoying. I own this, and learning to control it was a hard learned
lesson, which I mastered after a couple of smack downs and "shut ups"
from people who I respected.
Then a few years ago, I started a new job and after a week or so, one of the employees commented that I was really quiet.
And, I responded by quoting this scripture. They said that that was a good one.
If we don't know what we are talking about, we shouldn't be talking.
Lord help me keep my mouth shut.
