29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen
Ephesians 4:29 NIV
Our mouths can be used for great good and great evil. What we have stored up inside us, will be what flows out of us. If we have pure hearts, then our words will be pure. But if we have evil, then our words will be evil. As Christ followers we need to build each other up, and those around us. I know I need to be mindful of what I am saying. Is my language coarse and foul? Am I gossipying? I am reminded of a verse which says, to let the words of my mouth and meditations of my heart be pleasing in the Lord's sight.

This started as a way for Stacy and I to focus our attentions on Things From Above instead of the distractions, heart aches, disappointments, and false truths the world throws our way. I hope that through our sharings, all who read will be able to come closer to understanding the fullness of God's amazing love. ~Tamara
(2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
