Returned from Cranbrook-Revelstoke trip/Proverbs on holding the tongue

Golden, British Columbia

I returned home  today from a several hundred kilometre driving trip for ministry work; much of it in heat typically warmer than in Maple Ridge in the summer. I would like to have more tasks closer to my skill-set, but I met many good Christian people on tour and at the host churches. I gained more employment and life skills. I made friends.

Most people were positive and fair, and if I was critiqued, it was in love, but for the otherwise small minority, the following Hebrew Bible and Biblical concept came to mind...

New American Standard Bible

Proverbs 21: 23

23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
