It is interesting to see the various ways the word slow is used. Of course, we think of SLOW DOWN! But slow is used in other instances also. I remember a candy I used to buy as a kid for a nickel. It was called a Slo Poke. It was hard caramel plastered on a stick and it would last a long time. You couldn’t bite it or chew it; you just licked it till it melted away. A good choice when you only had one nickel and a lot of time!
You have seen signs that warn drivers of children in the area. It says SLOW CHILDREN! That’s an oxymoron since I’ve never seen a slow child. Another sign says SLOW WORKERS! This is usually posted at highway construction sites. I don’t think I should comment here?!?
The Bible says we should be SLOW TO SPEAK. Now that’s good advice considering the fact that nearly 100% of my problems can be traced to a quick tongue attached to a SLOW brain!
Make every effort today to SLOW DOWN your tongue. THINK before you speak and when you lie down to sleep tonight you will have much less to regret!
