INTO THE WOODS

Andrew Zarba, starring as "The Baker" into Atholton High School's production of INTO THE WOODS Friday, April 4th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 6th at 3 p.m. See you there! Andrew says,"Thanks Auntie Doreen and Auntie Sue for the notes...see you in Disneyworld!" Ryan Labanz says of Friday evening's performance, "It was like...professional!"

(Yes, this is a shameless plug for my very own son...isn't he cute?...see you at the show!)

BE STILL, MY TONGUE

THOUGHT:

Pascal remarked, "Do you wish people to believe good of you? Don't speak" (Pensees #44).

My Nana, quoting a traditional proverb, used to warn us, "A still tongue makes a wise head."

WORD:

"Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:28

"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." Proverbs 10:19

DEED:

Today, Lord, help me to hold my tongue.

 Just for today, Lord, may i speak only words that are kind and affirming.

 Before i say even one word, Lord, let me be sure it is something i would welcome being said to me.

 O, Lord, still my terrible, trembling tongue.
