I submit my body to righteousness when I do my good deeds without letting them be known, though my whole frame cries out to strut and crow.

In this long eternal quest to be more like our Savior, may we try to be “perfect” men and women in at least this one way now—by offending not in word, or more positively put, by speaking with a new tongue, the tongue of angels.
