Be gracious in your speech. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out. Colossians 4:6 (TM)

I’m currently having to deal with a person to whom no one wants to talk. Everyone avoids this person like the plague because, at one time or another, they’ve gotten their heads bitten off, their butts chewed, they’ve been called names and hung up on. Yesterday, I asked a mutual friend how things were with this person and he said he’d just been avoiding because he knew that a verbal explosion was imminent. How sad. And this human volcano is a believer. I love to be around positive people. I hope that others could describe me with today’s verse.
