Dear Jerry, Such a succinct yet powerful showing the weight words carry. There's something deeply impactful in how you’ve captured the responsibility behind speaking. Memorable! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

"God bless you please, Jerry Brotherton, heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey." You make a nice point Jer, though I doubt any of us will pay heed

Excellent observation Jerry. Too bad I've said too many wrong things. Good thing I'm getting cremated, and my ashes spread.
