Taming my Tongue???

We put bits in horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their entire body. Behold also the ships, which so they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whitersoever the governor listed. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! Oh me....when I'm hurt, disappointed,  i can unleash a firestorm.This little member can steer my entire existence down a slippery slope i wish never to go. Be patient with me, Gods still working in this area of my life. This scripture is found in the book of James chapter 3: verses 3 and 4.
