Rock, Don't Talk

We all have said things we wish we hadn't said. (Sorry, but I'm not sharing any examples!)

A week ago in church, our pastor mentioned a monk who kept a rock in his mouth for three years so that he would learn silence.

Pastor Dave invited us all to take a rock after the service was over. He had a whole box to choose from, and he did advise that we wash them first.

I selected a rock that is smaller than my foot, so it probably would fit in my mouth. (Ha ha!) But I think I'll just keep it as a symbol.... I can always use a reminder to keep my mouth shut.
