His friends and family will tell you that he likes to be direct, probably too direct at times.\n\nHe loathes beating around the bush and becomes irritated with those who do. From his perspective, those who are really good at profusely talking in code, are typically trying to hide what they are saying. They mask the true meaning or their actual intentions. \n\nChristian men, if you want to honor Christ with your speech, then speak plainly. Let your yes be yes, and your no be no. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Be honest. Be truthful. Stop muddying the waters, but strive to bring clarity. Your wives and children will respect that. Your friends and fellow Christians will appreciate it. And most importantly, your Savior will honor that.\n\nSpeak plainly. Yesterday was easy!"}
