How to Stop Church Gossip
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 extracurricular 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!)

Why did Pontius feel the need to be that way? It's a great little story that demonstrates that actions speak louder than words. It is sad that gossip occurs in the church however.
