It is so easy to start a-squawkin' about things before we realize that we are gossiping. I think most gossip begins simply because some one shut their brain off and turned their emotions on. That's easy to do. <BR/><BR/>(By the way. Milly?

I saw later that she was one of the people who received the letter that was talked about. I hadn't read it at the time, it was the first I had heard of it. We both chose to let it go instead of gabbing. It is so easy to talk and not realize we are the offenders. <BR/><BR/>We are not always good at standing up for what we believe in or saying, “This is it now stop it.” The men did a great job this time and have renewed me in how I feel about them. Many talked about what a great job they did on this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14033165.post-1153175519717876562006-07-17T15:31:00.000-07:002006-07-17T15:31:00.000-07:00Milly...Having wise elders can control a situation...Milly...<BR/>Having wise elders can control a situation before it explodes. I'm proud of your elders too! <BR/><BR/>Some Christians don't seem to realize that one can be guilty of gossip even if what they pass on is honestly believed to be factual. Truth is often converted to a lie over time; it just takes one person in the gossip chain to embellish, or diminish the original thought.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847433259526683184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14033165.post-1153171970696980592006-07-17T14:32:00.000-07:002006-07-17T14:32:00.000-07:00Love it!Recently some one approached two of us at ...Love it!<BR/><BR/>Recently some one approached two of us at church with gossip we looked at each other shrugged our shoulders and remained silent. She looked a bit unhappy that we didn’t play and said goodbye. The elders addressed it very openly in church. They were direct and to the point.
