go up to the counter and order another Apple Fritter. I remembered that 
hymn that says, “Yield not to temptation for yielding is sin.” Oh, how 
I wanted to sin at that moment. I did not yield, but I did enjoy the 
last bite of that marvelous Apple Fritter. 

Glancing at my watch, I realized I needed to finish up here and get
home. It was so hard to leave behind such a delicious experience. 

Leaving the restaurant, I noticed my tongue wagging back and forth in my
mouth, most of the Apple Fritter I just ate. 

I got home, and walked in the front door. The Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage was there and looking at me, she said, “Where have you been? 
And, what's wrong with your tongue?” 

Smiling at her, I simply said, “My tongue is wonderful. We had a
wonderful time together.” 

Looking at me rather strangely she said, “Oh, yeah?” 

I knew I could not tell her of my experience of the day, and I don't
think she would've understood. Some things are better left to yourself. 
This was one of them. No way could she understand what I experienced 
with my tongue and my Apple Fritter. 

In thinking about this I was reminded of a person Scripture. “A
wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a 
breach in the spirit” (Proverbs 15:4). 

A tongue can either be a blessing or a curse. It just determines how you
use it. I can use my tongue for good and bless people or, I can allow 
my tongue to be a curse. God gave me my tongue, now I need to use it 
for his honor and glory.
