This was me! I am quiet..but no wait! Perhaps I do talk to much.

I am reminded of a story.
There was a lady, Isabell, who was very quiet and only spoke when she had something important to say. She was a great listener and many people shared their woes with her and would ask her to pray for them.
Another lady (Abigail) was going to start a Bible study in her home. She invited a lot of people and did a lot of planning. One day a lady (Sally) asked Abigail who all was coming to the Bible study. Abigail went down the list of names of those who had committed to coming. She named off Isabell and Sally yelled out (sarcasticly)" oh no! You will never get her to shut up!" Well Abigail didnt know Isabell at all. She knew who she was and they had spoke common courtisies in passing. When Abigail saw Isabell, she took Isabell to the side and told her that in order for the Bible study to go well and that everyone have a chance to share, she wanted her to not dominate the conversations and allow others to talk. You know what Isabell did? She did not speak the entire Bible study. Her feelings were so hurt that the little bit she had talked in prior Studies, were concitered "too much" Sally should not have said what she said, even if she was kidding or being scarastic. Abigail took her as telling the truth. It is just amazing sometimes how communication or what people say can cause so much trouble. Just be careful in your words. There are many many MANY verses in the Bible on watching our tongues.
