Tired of the angry words my family was using with one another, I got the "soft answers" jar idea over at http://www.spelloutloud.com {here}. The concept comes from the Bible verse: "A soft answer turns away wrath" - Proverbs 15:1 I printed the verse out and mounted it to an old vitamin jar. Whenever one of... Continue Reading →
I heard this said once:
“Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4 NLT I’ve been loosing my temper lately. A lot.
