Celebrity Big Mouths

Oh, the drama. First, Serena at the US Open harassed a line-man to the point that everyone thought that she was going to hit the poor woman. Said line woman is apparently still shook up. Next, a very drunk Kanye West stole Taylor Swift's moment by stealing the microphone from her, and raving about how Beyonce had made the best video of all time. Now, former President Jimmy Carter has re-opened a can of worms by calling Sen. Joe Wilson a racist. What do all of these people have in common, besides being major drama queens and annoying-people-who-just-won't-go-away? They all opened their mouths, and didn't think for one second about what was coming out. Serena took about 2 days to issue an apology, and even then, still didn't seem to think that she'd done anything wrong. Kanye blogged an apology, but anyone with even an iota of decency can see how fake that one was. Mr. Carter doesn't think that he said anything wrong, and continues to stand by what he said. If there's anything anyone can take from this, it is simply this: Watch your mouth, and if you say something insensitive or factually incorrect, be willing to apologize. Proverbs 10:18 & 19 says, "He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth slander is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise." If only more people would heed this words.
