Tongue
It is a very interesting part of anatomy. Some are long enough to touch your nose. A Giraffes tong is so long it can even touch its eye . You can even make designs with a tongue making 3 or 4 ripples, or rolling it even flipping it upside down. We use it to even cleaning our teeth. We even use it for feeling, weather it is the texture of our food or feeling a tooth or a sore that is in pain. It has all sorts of taste buds placed differently and strategiclly on the tongue. I remember my dog Annie has two black birth marks on her huge pink tongue and but for the longest time I thought she was eating dirt. Not to mention that dogs tongues to stick out and drool is just cooling them down. I mean the variety of movements of a tongue helps make the sounds of speech. Man especially hearing all the languages here in Uganda. Some of them even sound like birds chirping when they talk. And from what I hear the tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body.
It’s powers are many. But that dosn’t mean they all can be good things.
You know the bites that we put into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal to where we want. Or take ships for example. Although they are so large and driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder to where ever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Look a a forest fire for example when what started it was so small of a spark of fire. The tongue is also fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It can corrupt the whole person, setting his whole life on fire, and is set on fire by hell itself. All sorts of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil that is filled with deadly poison.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. It should not be this way! Can both fresh and salt water flow from the same spring? Can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
So some one asked me the other day how I was really doing and what have I been learning right now. So these are some things that have been going through my head the past few days
