2558) The world has changed so much since I was born. (I know, every generation can say this, as life is always changing.)

When I was little and living in cities, I didn’t know anyone who had a gun. Now, many people own firearms.

What’s interesting to me is that we all have had a weapon within our reach our entire lives. Proverbs 18:21 spells it out. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

We may or may not have firearms, but we all have the power to heal, help and/or hurt by our simple choice of words.

I know specific times in my life when someone said something that rejuvenated or knocked me down, making me lose my breath like a punch to the gut.

It’s good to remember we all have a weapon. Will we use it to protect or destroy?
