It was a very valuable exotic bird, and he sent it to his mother for Mother's Day. He called her and asked her how she liked the bird. Oh, yes, she saw her loved it. Cooked it last night. It was delicious. You cooked it. Mom, that was an expensive bird, he said. It spoke eight languages. Well, sons, you said that bird should have said something. Do you ever keep your mouth shut when you ought to say something? Maybe a good word for Jesus, or take a stand on a moral issue, or stand up for a friend? Well, if you don't say anything, God will still love you, but you'll feel guilty. You'll look back and say, I should have said something. On the other hand, when you speak up, even if you make a mess of it, you can say, I didn't say it well, but I did say it. Now I can sleep. I'm Steve Brown, a P-lite network. You think about that.
