CONDENSE IT.

If you are an old time auto mechanic you 

know what this is.  It is a condenser.  If my

memory is correct Ford motor company began

to phase these out in about 1978 when they 

came in with the electronic ignitions. 

I had this one hanging on the wall of my office

for years to remind me to "condense" it.  Meaning,

use less words.

If you have ever spent a lot of time listening to

some of the commercials on the internet where

they want you to watch a video you know what

I mean.  They simply will not stop talking.  I have

followed some for 20 or 30 minutes and finally

gave up, even though I wanted to buy the product.

God tries to tell us that, if we would but listen.

"Too much talk leads to sin.

Be sensible and keep your 

mouth shut."

(Proverbs 10:19 NLT)

"A truly wise person uses few words;

a person with understanding is 

even-tempered.

Even fools are though wise

when they keep silent;

with their mouths shut, they

seem intelligent."

(Proverbs 17:27,28 NLT)

"Understand this, my dear brothers

and sisters: You must all be quick

to listen, slow to speak, and slow

to get angry."

(James 1:19 NLT)

I would say more, but I am trying to condense it.
