With Words and With Silence
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Speak now or forever hold your peace. We’ve all heard that expression. Sometimes it’s difficult to actually know if it’s best to speak now or whether simply holding our peace is a better option. Two things are certain, however.

BONUS: Do It Now
Had to pass this along! From Rick Warren: “Whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it. Never tell your neighbor to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now.” Proverbs 3:27-28 (GN) The best time to love is now — not tomorrow. Not later. Not someday. Not one of these days. […]
