I Want To Be Wise!

Proverbs 10: 19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable. But he who restrains his lips is wise. Wow. I love this verse.  Many words equals an unavoidable transgression but he who restrains his lips is wise. I want to be wise. It may not be the only thing we need to do become […]

A Writer’s Life–Part 3
