Parrot Joke
I love that joke but I also know there are times when words are not funny…
We all know the good, good words can do
We know the pain that verbal abuse can cause
Yelling
Insults
Mean statements
Mocking
Gossip
Bullying
Cursing and cussing

God gave us the gift of communication-words; and He does care how we use them…
