Slow to speak and slow to become angry...

When I focus on this scripture, I think of the importance of controlling my speech and trying to maintain an eternal perspective during times when emotions are running high.  However, I recently was reminded that 90% of communication is conveyed through nonverbal means.  Our body language and tone can sometimes speak louder than words.

Lately, I have been thinking that if I just keep my mouth shut and listen that I would be heading in the proper direction following this scripture.  But I think another part of being slow to speak includes the nonverbal messages I may send as well.

The above referenced scripture is James 1:19
