“Every exaggeration of the truth once detected by others destroys our credibility and makes all that we do and say suspect.” Stephen Covey

The truth is often compromised in exaggeration, or drama, or sensationalism. If we want to be truthful, it is expedient for us to be factual, simple and straightforward when we speak. Adding words does not always add any beneficial weight to what we are trying to say. Our verbal excesses may very well sink our communication in the mire of doubt. 

“All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 9/17/2020
