"Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Can you pick olives from a fig tree or figs from a grape vine? No, and you can't draw fresh water from a salty pool."
The words we use at work matter. Salty words do not match up with the fresh pool and bubbling spirit that God wants us to represent and carry for Him onto our jobs.
I wrote the linked article for US News and World Report and I hope it reminds all of us that even though we are in this world, we are not to be of it when it comes to the words we use. Enjoy.
