How to Stop Church Gossip

I received this in an email this morning.
I love it so I had to post it to share...


Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals,
kept sticking her nose into other people's business....
-
Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
-
She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of
the town's only bar one after noon.
-
She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that every one seeing it There WOULD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING !
-
Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away.
He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing....
-
Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house ..... walked home . . .and left it there all night!!!
-
(You gotta love Frank!)

That's cute, plus a message to us. We should be careful about judging someone so quickly.
