My Ever growing mouth!
I can be quiet, I chose not to, but I can. Really! I know it is hard to believe. So what I have noticed lately is that I choose to talk at every opportunity given. Sometimes appropriate but not always. I recently finished a bible study that had quite a few mature christians and in that class there were only about 3 that participated regularly in the discussion. This made me wonder why these mature christians were not talking. Were the mature enough to keep their mouths shut? or did they not have an answer or were they afraid of offending someone else? I do not know but maybe I should learn to shut my mouth once in a while. I don't always join the conversation but when talking about religion or spiritually matters I do always join in. It is the one subject I always have an opinion on and the subject that I truly enjoy talking about, even when others disagree with me. I will try to be quiet long enough to let someone else answer but I just can't stop talking about this. Sorry!

I have noticed this in about every Bible study I have been a part of. There are usually only a few that truly speak up and get involved. I don't know why...it may be our insecurity in ourselves and our knowledge of the subject, whether it be Scripture or Marriage, etc, etc. I think it is very important for us all to speak up and ask questions and give our thoughts. How else will our questions be answered, and our thoughts be questioned or confirmed? The more questions we have..the deeper it causes us to dig in God's word for answers and the more time we Spend with Him... asking for answers.
