SATURDAY THOUGHTS: WORDS

Before you adopt a new way of defining yourself, find out what it means, and decide whether or not you're exchanging dignity for stupidity.

It's sad enough to badmouth others on purpose, but even more ridiculous to badmouth oneself, and not even know it.

No words are "just words".
"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit". 
~Proverbs 18:21

I looked up the word "swagger" in the dictionary. 
I didn't know it was an actual word. 
Here's what Mr. Webster had to say:
"swagger- to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner; to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence; boast; brag"

Wow. That can't be good.

Believe what God says about you. It's smarter and safer.

Never allow the bad behavior of someone else to change who you are.

I wonder if the thoughtless, offensive behavior toward everyone, a person encounters ( a.k.a "keepin' it real" or "This is just who I am"), is the result of years of being offended by just a few critics?
