Silent
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. - Bible
Ok, I know I said in my bio I wasn't much on preachin these days but, hell, a person don't change completely. No special reason for my little sermonette, just one of those random memories that popped into my head and got me to thinkin then a blog post by Henry inspired me to write.
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. - Bible
My dad is a man of silence, he says little but when he speaks it's appparent that he thought about what he had to say. I've always aspired to that kind of wisdom
I used to watch my dad mutttering to himself sometimes and wondered what was up then I learned he was working out what he wanted to say to someone sometime in the near future. When he finally did say what he had to say it sounded like he'd done his homework. I've always listened to what my dad had to say, didn't always agree but always listened.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. - Bible

I realized I was vague by what I meant about Henry's blog inspiring me. His post criticizes people who talk about things without doing their homework first. I think it's a great post and hits several nails on the head. Reminds me of a refrain from a song I once heard, "His brain is on vacation but his mouth is working overtime."
