Sometimes I open my mouth and stick both of my feet in it. It's just that at the time it makes so much sense to me or seems to that I just have to say it and then--. It's hard to think about possible implications and effects of words. Mostly my mistakes seem to have to do with thinking I've got it figured out or sometimes I'll read someone else's words and think that's it--they've got it all figured out (though I do that less frequently). Then I'll read or hear the other perspective and wonder why I was so easily, fully persuaded by the first. More of Him and less of me or them. More of His Word than even words about it. And hopefully next time I'll keep my mouth shut.
