We've already done it enough for a lifetime. Stop it before it comes out. It's like a bullet coming out of a gun. You can't stop it. You have to stop it by not pulling the trigger. Once it's sent to its target, it's just going to do its damage. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Chain-Saw-in-Your-Mouth-5037 2008-08-07T12:00:52-05:00 It's almost as if we have this verbal chain saw in our mouth that keeps cutting people we care about. It may be that you've been doing this for so long you hardly even notice how destructive some your words are. But the people who are hearing them are not only noticing your words, it's quite possible they'll never forget them.
