Proverbs 12:18

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.


Remark:
When you end a conversation, do others bleed or grow? Do others love talking with you, because it is pleasant and profitable? Or do they avoid you, because they fear your harsh and painful words? Are there those that leave you bleeding? Do some encourage and help you? A man’s words reveal his heart (10:20; Matt 12:34-37). Wise men teach their own mouths (16:23), and they avoid the swords of others (9:7-8; 16:27; 21:19; 23:9).
Death and life are in the power of the tongue (18:21). You can cut a person with your words, like the piercings of a sword; or you can heal and nurture him with kind and helpful words. Which are you best at? Which are you known for? Which do you want for your speech? Your number of close friends reveals the kind of mouth you have (18:24).
The tongue is an unruly evil; it is a world of iniquity; it defiles the whole body; it sets on fire the course of nature; it is a fire from hell; and it is full of deadly poison. Wild animals can be tamed, but the tongue can never be tamed. If it could be tamed, you would be perfect. God ignores modern self-esteem and damns your tongue (James 3:1-12)!
There are two kinds of persons and speech. Some people only know cutting words; and some are generally or always gracious. Harsh and unkind speech betrays a bitter and hateful heart. Gentle and kind words reveal a happy and loving heart. Speech can be destructive, or it can be healthful. There are no other options. Your words identify you.
Christians should always speak graciously, with only a pinch of salt â€" criticism â€" seasoning it (Col 4:6). This balance of 98% graciousness and 2% reproofs is how we speak to please God. Biting criticism, harshness, and sarcasm outside this balance are wrong (Eph 4:31-32). You should speak to others, as you want God to speak to you!
Your speech should be a tree of life to others (15:4), and it should be appreciated for its sweetness and health (16:24) and beauty (25:11). If you have few friends and family members who seek you out for conversation, then you need to examine your speech. The rule does not lie. If you have few close friends, it is because you are verbally offensive.
Backbiting, slandering, whispering, and talebearing, which create deep piercing wounds, should never be part of your speech, as they prove an unfaithful spirit (18:8; 26:22). If you criticize others to a person, that person safely assumes you will criticize him to them! And no man wants to be the object of gossip, so he avoids you. Start saying good, kind, and thankful things about others, and you will find men wanting to be your friends!
Jesus said harsh speech could be murder (Matt 5:21-22). Anger and name calling without very valid reasons for holy purposes are violations of the sixth commandment. Foolish and unlearned questions, debate, railing, reviling, and answering again are all sins (II Tim 2:23; Rom 1:29; I Pet 3:9; Titus 2:9). The holy God of heaven expects men to always speak respectfully to employers and honorably to their wives (I Tim 6:1-2; I Pet 3:7).
Good speech is at the right time (15:23), with gracious and acceptable words (10:32; 15:1; 25:11). Such speech causes so much pleasure that men want to kiss the speaker on the lips, and kings want him as a close friend (24:26; 16:13; 22:11). So be slow to speak (Jas 1:19), search out good words (15:28), and say them carefully (17:27-28).
The Lord Jesus Christ could verbally destroy Pharisees and other fools of His day with His learned tongue (Matt 7:28-29; 21:27; 22:46), and sometimes it was appropriate for Him to shut their mouths in order to teach the simple (21:11; 26:5). But He generally chose gracious speech that amazed His hearers (Ps 45:2; Luke 4:22; Tit 2:  8 ). If you want to be wise, instead of wearing a WWJD bracelet, talk the rest of this day as the Lord did.

I once read a story about a man and a son.  The son was so verbally abusive.  His father was sad.  He talked to his son kindly and gently in terms of parable.  They were in their backyard trying to fix their fence.  The father said that hurting words are like nails that pierce through the wood planks.  The son understood that and he promised not to be verbally abusive anymore.  Then, the father removed the nail from the wood plank and showed to the son the hole.  Even if we are sorry for the hurting words we hurled to people, yes it can be healed but the scar represented by the hole still remains.

I am no saint.  At times, I allow my temper to get the best of me.  I sometimes so passionate in conveying my words that without knowing it, I came out so strong and hurting.  I always ask the Lord to guard by tongue so as not to unnecessarily hurt people.  My guiding verse is that of Matthew 15:11 -  It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

Nakahilak ko Dong sa imong story and more so when I saw the face behind the story, your Lolo Ciano!  I saw in his face the lines of hardwork and perseverance and love to his family!

Welcome to Tubag Bohol, Sixlittledocks!

September, Sweet, Siegfred

Tinuud jud, Ate Ging. Your powerful statement shook me to the bones jud, 'te. It reminds me that right now as I am young and opt to proceed to future studies, to never forget my background and where I come from. Ate Ging, I will admit to you my brothers and sisters of my own faults and of my own sins, for being too proud before, for allowing myself to care not for others who did not like me or due to the competition I had in classes and in research. I told my mom about this and what she told me brought reality to me. And truly without my mom, who tells me the brutal honest truth, i would have already gone astray.

"Bran, anak, do not forget where you come from. Your lolo and lola did not even have education pero they were able to send me and your titos and titas to school. Do you look down on them for no education? Ang mama ug papa sa imung Daddy, do you look down on them because naa ra sila didto? Ayaw jud pa bastos-bastos ondoy, kai your ginikanans come from a humble and simple background jud. Ikaw, eldest ka , you must lead through example so your younger sister and brother will learn through you"

"Mo give thanks ka sa ginoo, ondoy, kai naka anhi ka kai gi taga-an man ko ug imung daddy ug chance to come here sa America. Be humble doy, ayaw pa saka-saka kai gamay ra man jud ta sa ginoo"

I listened to my mother's words. And I control my pride, I let it go whenever it is attacked, because it is not worth it.

Ate Ging, thank you kaayo for sharing this proverb. It teaches all of us a lesson. And for me, personally, it reiterates what my Mother and Father tell me all the time. "Be God-fearing"

I hope your friend learns from her mistakes as well, and that she changes her ways in looking down on other people.

Truly, I mean this when I say this, Salamaat kaayo for sharing this.
Your words speak the truth, Ate Ging.

You are so blessed, Dong, to have a mother or parents who lead you and correct you to the right path.  I can almost hear your mother when I was reading your post.   Other parents are success-driven that they don't think anymore of their children's spiritual well-being.  You know what you said about your grandparents' not having education, it really brought me back to my own mother.  Our mother didn't even finish elementary. Her family was so poor and yet they are loving family. Our mother was one of my Dad's family's house helpers and then they fell in love.  My Dad was so blessed to have my mother and so are we her children. Most of us graduated college (except all the boys) from our hardwork and of course, God's blessings, but we are always reminded of our humble beginning, of the time that we could hardly eat anything before we go to school.  It's easy to just think that we were so unblessed then but if you look at it better, we are so blessed to have that experience to look back now and appreciate more of what we have.  Also, we were able to relate to those people who were like us then and be more compassionate and understanding and helpful and be humble.

Soon-to-be-Doctor Dong Bran, is this really possible?

This doesn't make sense at all that a guy can be so smart in planning this cheating scheme and yet not know how to read and write.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- John Corcoran graduated from college and taught high school for 17 years without being able to read, write or spell.

Corcoran's life of secrecy started at a young age. He said his teachers moved him up from grade to grade. Often placed in what he calls the "dumb row," the images of his tribulations in the classroom are still vividly clear.

"I can remember when I was 8 years old saying my prayers at night saying, 'please, God, tomorrow when it's my turn to read please let me read.' You just pretend that you are invisible and when the teacher says, 'Johnnie read,' you just wait the teacher out because you know the teacher has to go away at some point," said Corcoran.

Corcoran eventually started acting up to hide his illiteracy. From fifth through seventh grade he was expelled, suspended and spent most of his days at the principal's office.

The former teacher said he came from a loving family that always supported him.

"My parents came to school and it no longer was a problem for me reading because this boy Johnnie the -- native alien I call him -- he didn't have a reading problem as far as the teachers were concerned. He had an emotional problem. He had a psychological problem. He had a behavioral problem," said Corcoran.

Corcoran later attended Palo Verde High School in Blythe, Calif. He cheated his way through high school, receiving his diploma in June 1956.

"When I was a child I was just sort of just moved along when I got to high school I wanted to participate in athletics. At that time in high school I went underground. I decided to behave myself and do what it took. I started cheating by turning in other peoples' paper, dated the valedictorian, and ran around with college prep kids," said Corcoran.

"I couldn't read words but I could read the system and I could read people," adds Corcoran.

He stole tests and pursuaded friends to complete his assignments. Corcoran earned an athletic scholarship to Texas Western College. He said his cheating intensified, claiming he cheated in every class.

"I passed a bluebook out the window to a friend I painstakingly copied four essay questions off the board in U.S. government class that was required, and hoped my friend would get it back to me with the right answers," Corcoran said.

In 1961, Corcoran graduated with a bachelor's degree in education, while still illiterate he contends. He then went on to become a teacher during a teacher shortage.

"When I graduated from the university, the school district in El Paso, where I went to school, gave almost all the college education graduates a job," said Corcoran.

For 17 years Corcoran taught high school for the Oceanside School District. Relying on teacher's assistants for help and oral lesson plans, he said he did a great job at teaching his students.

"What I did was I created an oral and visual environment. There wasn't the written word in there. I always had two or three teacher's assistants in each class to do board work or read the bulletin," said Corcoran.

In retrospect, Corcoran said, his deceit took him a long time to accept.

"As a teacher it really made me sick to think that I was a teacher who couldn't read. It is embarrassing for me, and it's embarrassing for this nation and it's embarrassing for schools that we're failing to teach our children how to read, write and spell!"

While still teaching, Corcoran dabbled in real estate. He was granted a leave of absence, eventually becoming a successful real estate developer.

It wasn't until he was 48 years old that he gave reading and writing another chance. He drove to an inconspicuous office with a sign he couldn't read. He studied and worked with a tutor at the Literacy Center of Carlsbad. Assigned to a 65-year-old volunteer tutor, Eleanor Condit, he was able to read at a sixth-grade level within a year.

"I'm just an optimistic hopeful person that believes in the impossible and miracles," said Corcoran.

Carlsbad City Library literacy coordinator Carrie Scott said people of all walks of life go through the reading program, including teachers.

Corcoran is now an education advocate.

"I believe that illiteracy in America is a form of child neglect and child abuse and the child is blamed and they carry the shame, if we just teach our people how to read we'd give them a fair chance," Corcoran said.

He has written two books, "The Teacher Who Couldn't Read" and "Bridge to Literacy." He is also the founder of the John Corcoran Foundation. The foundation is state-approved as a supplemental service provider for literacy in Colorado and California â€" providing tutoring programs for over 600 students in small group settings, and individually in homes through an online program.

Dong, I specifically chose these proverbs because at this time I am trying to reflect on what I can share to my friend who is in big financial trouble.  She has no reason to be in this hole but she is.  My other friends can not think of any other reason but because of her PRIDE.  Her spiritual compass has been distorted because of this thing called PRIDE.  Because of that, it's catching up on her now.  She always thought she was far better than the other. She put down people like she said one of her friends are low IQ. She buys things beyond her means so she looks better than the others.  "Look at those people, they still look like probinsyana when we are now in New York!", I heard her say that one time and I told her, "what's that got to do with you?  They are obviously happy and contented  and at peace".  I say things frankly to my friends even if it hurts so she stopped talking to me except at times when she has problems.  Then came this news that she is in financial trouble again and worst, she used my name to borrow money from her friend who is lending money with 10% interest/month.  You see, it was PRIDE that she could not tell her friend that it was her who needed to borrow money.  It was PRIDE that she didn't tell me what she was up to not that I would let her use my name if she asked permission!

I had a long talk with her over the weekend.  I reminded her how she has gone astray.  I told her to reflect on the pain she caused to her other friends because of her demeaning attitude.  Then I asked her if she still goes to church which she used to.  And she said, she stopped going to church.  I told her to seek refuge again to God.  She has to have peace first in her heart before she can think clearly on how to go about dealing with almost 40k dollars payables.  This i remember most when I was thinking of my friend:

When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
       but with humility comes wisdom.


Aside from my own experiences, I take the experience of my friends and learn from it.  Pride is so easy to get out of hand.  Pride leads us to seek POWER and POWER then corrupts us.  PRIDE is quite tricky but with the Lord's guidance, we should be able to distinguish the PRIDE that corrupts and PRIDE that benefits people and glorifies God.

I'd go for rice though I hope not everyday!

Peanut butter or jam?

At some point, I never thought Hillary would settle the VPship but after their debate before the Super Tuesday, I think that's possible already.  On Obama becoming the VP, I think he didn't have problem with that. IMO.
