DO YOU LIKE TO GOSSIP?

It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one. Only the ignorant and narrow-minded gossip, for they speak of persons instead of things.
--Lawrence G. Lovasik 


   Hi friends! It has been such a chilly cold day! I am so thankful spring is on it's way and then my favorite time of the year being summertime is coming sooner than later...I hope so anyway lol. Our weather here is quite bi-polar, , one day nice and sunny...the next cold and ick outside. Today friends I am just touching base on something WE ALL NEED NOT DO....GOSSIP
We all have done it on purpose or by accident either way everyone has done it at some point..BUT when it's a chronic thing....then THAT is a problem in many ways...but to keep this blog somewhat short Lets begin with the definition google has for the term GOSSIP....oh and by the way the meaning of GOSPEL is "good news"...moving on..
gos·sip  
/ˈgäsip/
-Noun: Casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.
-Verb: Engage in gossip.

Have you ever played the game Telephone? You sit in a circle with a group of people and one person whispers a phrase to the person next to him or her. Then, each person keeps whispering the phrase around the circle until it reaches the last person, who repeats the whispered statement out loud. What started out as "Pizza tastes great" can end up as "Pete's a great ape!" It's funny to laugh at how twisted the sentence became as it got passed around. Gossip can work the same way, but it's not so funny. In fact, it can be very hurtful. Have you ever gossiped or been gossiped about? I am guilty of gossip...I think everyone is at some point in life. I chose to try NOT to gossip and I know what it feels like to be the GOSSIP topic so to speak and it does hurt...especially when the crap is 100% FALSE!  Let's talk a bit about gossiping.
!!!Talking about peopld Versus Gossiping about people!!!
Talking is how you spread your thoughts, ideas, and experiences to people around you. It's NOT always wrong to talk about other people. There's nothing wrong with telling your friends, "I like hanging out with John doe. He tells the funniest stories!" Those words don't hurt anyone. But when you SAY mean things, tell stories that you're not sure are TRUE, or reveal information you know is supposed to remain PRIVATE, you're spreading gossip. What if you saw funny john doe go into the principal's office and you started wondering if he was in trouble. There's nothing wrong with wondering that, but what if you started telling other people you think Johns in big trouble. You really don't know why he was in the principal's office, right? But before you know it, everyone is talking about how John is in trouble and imagining why. Maybe he put his rubber snake in the teacher's desk, someone says. Maybe he punched a kid who didn't laugh at one of his jokes, another person suggests. John doesn't come back to class for a long time, but when he does, everyone wants to know what happened in the principal's office.  John might be a little angry or confused about all the questions, especially when he explains, "I went to the principal's office because my mom was there to take me to a doctor appointment."
That's how RUMORS work. They start small and often blow up into something TOTALLY different from the TRUTH....THIS friends is an example of how childish and hurtful GOSSIP can be. Even in my own personal Life I STILL weekly hear rumors and GOSSIP about  myself...one day it may be about my personal relationships...next day might be about who my elite friends are and what I am "involved" in. ALL of this is hurtful to me and honestly pisses me off to the core...sorry for sounding harsh but people need to grow the hell up and grow a LIFE lol.
Your probaly wondering by now why I chose Gossip as the topic for todays blog. Well I had been thinking of blogging about this subject....however when a ridiculous rumor comes my way pertaining ME and MY LIFE....well needless to say that is what sparked me to do this topic today. I am fed up to the core with folks...Locals especially gossiping about me as a person.
I even have so called certain "friends" gossip and make up total lies about me for NO apparent reason...there is NEVER EVER a good reason to make something up about ANYONE!
The most recent rumor i heard about myself was that I am a cocaine freak LOL I am serious! When i was told this I laughed but also got very angry....SO whoever came up with that one...YOU need to be a bit more creative with your gossip lol. I have many health issues as i have mentioned before...meaning I get bloodwork and labwork MONTHLY...I am sure if i was a "coke freak" My doctors would have a problem with it lol. MY point being I dont use drugs except for what I am prescribed for my health issues. I dont even drink alcohol...let alone a substance like cocaine lol. Now I have NOTHING against using herbal remedies for health and relaxation. SO TO CLEAR THE AIR the only thing I am a freak about is LIFE! yes you heard right Im a life freak...meaning I am addicted to trying to LIVE in a Peaceful Happy manner.  To those of you who say you are my friends....I know with my high intuition who is who....i will leave it at that. SOON I will be calling ALL of these so called "friends" out on what I feel they have done or said behind my back. In conclusion today I have chose a scripture as todays affirmation, for it pertains to gossiping and people who have negative secret agendas against you or me.
                                                                   ISAIAH 54:17
"But in the coming day, NO weapon formed against YOU will succed/prosper. YOU"
will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the
servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!
Isaiah 54:17 Holy Bible/NIV version

a true LIFE FREAK lol...feel free to use this photo to scare the mice away haha!
