Monday Moments

"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;"

1 Thessalonians 4:11


What a wonderful verse, this is one my Bobby quotes to me OFTEN. How much better would every ones life be if we stayed out of everyone elses business. Lately In some of situations I am in, I have felt there are some people who are out to "harm" me or harm my job situation. If they would deal with me directly instead of talking about me behind my back, it would be one thing, but they don't. Its much easier to start trouble then to try to fix a problem. We are all guilty of gossip, but we all should try to avoid it. Pastor Mike ( http://www.faithengineer.com/) at our church ( http://www.mycornerstone.org/) said this past Sunday if the person your talking to can't fix the problem, then it's gossip. Basically go to the person causing the problem instead of everyone around the person. It made me take a look at my life, and who and how I talk to my friends. We all should examine how we talk about other people in our life.
