Random Thoughts....or not

So...I have discovered that I am far too outspoken at times. LOL Yup, tis true. This can be a blessing and also a cursing. I do tend to want to speak out, but at the same time...it will no doubt get me into much trouble. So, I will say things that, to the general public, are random thoughts...but to me, they are things that I say instead of what I want to say in order to keep me out of trouble.

Like...why do people talk in code? Why don't they just say what's on their mind? It truly is much more freeing. Think of it this way...if you are bothered by something, or someone...just go to that person or talk about that situation with another person or a group of people and get some wise counsel. Instead...there are some that will put up a cryptic message and more often than not, it doesn't really fool anyone. There are some pretty smart people out there. It's not really that hard to figure out what you are talking about.

So...to keep myself out of trouble, or to not bring embarrassment to my family, I will hold my tongue, practice a little from the Book of James and say other things instead. That is where a lot of my funny status posts on Facebook come from. I will post a funny, to keep me from posting my irritations with those who post the coded or cryptic messages or if someone has posted a status that just, downright upsets me. Now...don't get wrong. Not all my funny statuses are for that purpose. I do like to smile too and I am a true proponent of laughter being a true medicinal plus in life.

So with all this said...I guess the point I'm trying to make here is this: Just speak truth, in love, of course...but if you really need to get something off your chest, don't post coded garb out there. Go that person or people and talk about it. Or if it is something that is okay for public posting, then by all means...just say it.

Hatred stirs up quarrels,
but love makes up for all offenses. Proverbs 10:12 (NLT)

Just speak the truth in love!
