If you can't say anything nice...

"Do 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

Beloved, please allow me to continue on my previous post about the power of our words.

I have been volunteering the past couple weeks at a charter school in Baltimore, MD. I eat lunch with a group of kids on each of four lunch shifts. These students were recommended to me by their teachers. The purpose is to be a mentoring figure in their lives, and to give them "face time", as many of them don't receive much attention from influential adults. Often, the only attention they get at home is bad.
