Augh! Stop Talking!

How grand life would be if I came with a pause button.  If I could run my thoughts like a DVR it would be smooth sailing for this ferry over troubled waters. It's taken me quite some time to realize that I was the one stirring the waters.  

Over the next few days, my posts will carry the same theme.  Staying quiet, mentally and literally.  "In my humble opinion" there is no one that can shoot straighter on this topic other than Joyce Meyers.  This post contains a brief synopsis from her teachings on the subject of STRIFE.  What a nasty little word that I have slow danced with on a daily basis.
