Gossip
Speaking without listening
Angry words
Hurting words
Words we wish we could retrieve... but it's too late and they're said...
The lips of the wise - that's what we want to be known for - speaking life!
Speaking words that preserve not only ourselves but others :)
The thing about words is that we get to choose.
