WOW...what a challenge issued this morning by Ken. To spend an entire week speaking nothing but blessings on people instead of curses. But, if we try it, it will become, as everything else, a habit! I was raised with a particularly sharp tongue, and although the Lord has delivered me from all of the anger and bitterness in my life, this one will be a special challenge. I tend to speak very frankly...even at the cost of someone elses' feelings. The Lord has been working on me in that area too. I am going to pray and try very hard to remember to bless instead of curse. "Lord, restore my heart and renew my mind to give me the mind of Christ"! mark scherer
