I am really quiet right now. Peaceful. I hate when I say that because then I end up thinking about it too much and getting unpeaceful. Sigh. I think I may be in bed by 9 tonight, but that is probably good because I plan on being up at 4, so I still won’t get a super lot of sleep. It is extremely gorgeous weather out today. I like good weather.
When we put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example: Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. James 3
