Hello my friends welcome to follow him favorites. My name is

St. Smith. I'm here with the incredible John by the way. John we're going to take on

a single question from this week's lesson which is the epistle of James. In chapter 3 he talks all about the

tongue. He says you can't tame the tongue and the tongue is a little thing but it can

burn down an entire forest.

John, what is Paul talking about when he says try to tame your tongue?

Yeah, isn't that interesting?

One of the verses I love is verse 10 out of the same mouth

proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brother and these things ought not so to be.

And there's lots of ways to look at this. I've looked at it with you don't want to have somebody using

horrible language and then see them sitting at the sacrament table on Sunday.

I know President Hinckley talked about that And so James is asking is to have some

control over the tongue, a little member, a little thing, but if you can have

control over that, that's great. So that's something to work on.

One more thing, Hank.

I just remember so many stories of people who have a member of the church at their work

or something. Well, the first thing I noticed

about him is the way he talked and he didn't curse and how it can be a real good

indicator that we're trying to keep our language or conversation on a higher level.

John I don't know if your mom ever said watch your tongue. I don't think I can mom yeah. Yeah yeah

what does that mean to go into the mirror and watch your, you know, watch your tongue?

I think the idea is, yeah, you can, you can really wound.
