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!)
