The Bible has a l0t to say about the MOUTH...
Joshua 1:8 "Do not let the Book of the Law depart from your mouth; but meditate on it day and night..."
Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight..."
Psalm 40:3 "He put a new song in my mouth.."
Proverbs 16:23 "A wise man's heart guides his mouth..."
Proverbs 17:2 "Let others praise you, and not your own mouth..."
Matt.12:34 "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks..."'
Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
I have done that. I have confessed with my mouth and believed in my heart that Jesus is Lord. I want the words of my mouth and the meditations 0f my heart to be acceptable to His sight.
But right now I have other issues with my MOUTH. I had mouth surgery last Monday
(July 21) and a week later I'm still in pain. Dr. Wong removed skin from the roof of my mouth and sewed it into my lower gums to stop the recession that began years ago as a result of my "aggressive brushing techniques." I have to tell the surgery itself was painless, but the recovery process is entirely PAINFUL.
The enjoyment of eating is gone. The ability to speak clearly is impaired. The swelling in my face makes me look different and laugh uncomfortably. And yet, I'm fine. I'm thankful it's over. I'm thankful Dennis is taking such good care of me. I'm thankful I'll never have to do it again. And, my advice to anyone who brushes your teeth with great vigor is...DON'T. My dentist told me to.."Floss twice as much and brush half as much." So, I thought I'd just pass that on for what it's worth.

Don't Blink Lyrics
I turned on the evening newsSaw a old man being interviewedTurning a hundred and two todayAsked him what's the secret to lifeHe looked up from his old pipeLaughed and said "All I can say is."Don't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blinkI was glued to my tv and it looked like he looked at me and said"Best start putting first things first."Cause when your hourglass runs out of sandYou can't flip over and start againTake every breathe God gives you for what it's worthDon't Blink[ Don't Blink lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]Just like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blinkI've been tryna slow it downI've been tryna take it inIn this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' inDon't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster you thinkDon't blinkNaw, don't blink
A Brand New Thing
I used to be a journaler, more than I am currently. I'm not sure if I want to journal on line, but it may be a way to make myself settle down and write. Not sure if I have anything news worthy, probably won't spill my guts, but I'm going to try to get the hang of this and just see how it goes.
Lori helped me figure out most of this. I'll probably need a few more tutorials before I branch out on my own.
Anyway, God is doing a brand new thing in my walk with Him. The truth of the matter is this...Can God be trusted? The answer is either "Yes." or "No." I, either, trust Him or I don't...with everything!! At the risk of sounding trite, I DO trust Him. It's just learning to Trust Him in everything.
