Boy oh boy did I feel targeted by this-in a good way! It was like a mini examination of conscience of sorts. I love reading and speaking (I was an English teacher after all!) and I’ve long known the temptation to talk too much, whether in conversation with God or others, is one I am prone too. I so appreciate some of your suggestions for practicing a sort of verbal prudence. When we moved last year, my husband and I decided to get rid of television from our home. We can still watch movies and The Great British Bake Off on laptops, but the temptation to revert to TV/movies has been such a blessing for us and for our children. So that’s one “fast” I can’t recommend enough to others
