Taming the Tounge

"If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless" James 1:26

"But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned" Matthew 12:37

Ug. Do these scriptures pierce your heart like they do to me? When I read the first one on Chelsey's blog it was reminiscent of the time I fell down roller skating and got the wind knocked out of me. Same feeling.
