James 3

First off, I'm doing much better than I was in the picture from my last post. I think I'm healing well (at least I hope so) and life is back to normal. During the few days that I was stuck in bed, resting from the procedure, I thought a lot about James 3. {side note: We're currently studying James in my Sunday school class, so the book has been on my mind a lot.} James 3:5-6 says:

"So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.
How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!
And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness.
The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body,
setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell."

The truth in these verses became very real to me as I felt the affect that such a small part of my body (my lower left jaw) had on me. The pain I experienced in my mouth caused exhaustion and weakness to my entire body. How much more does the sin of my words infect my whole being!
