wedgie

it is really easy to wiggle waggle in our communication.  to tell the truth but not the whole truth...to 'speak diplomatically' in order to avoid offence...to never really stand up for anything that we might find worth believing in.

having a foot on both sides of the issues in order to remain neutral...hmm...switzerland sounds like a safe place to be...but sitting on the fence only gives you a wedgie.  often, in order to avoid leaving a bad taste in anyone's mouth...we just tip toe around the issues...and plop right down on the boundary lines.


Matthew 5:37 says 'Just say 'yes' and 'no.' When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.'

so...even though it is a little scary...stand up for something.  anything.  whatever you find worth standing up for.  you don't have to be hateful or angry about it...but you can still stand up for what you feel is right.
...please do not sit on the fence...
