Remember the old Telephone Game?
A chapter in the book Geoffrey's Musings.
Don't Tell Anyone!
by Sankey
A bit of a rant.
Some time ago in one of our major shopping centres, we had a person come up to us whom we had not seen for probably a year. She originally attended our church. She wanted to confide in us about a matter and cautioned us not to tell anyone else. I even forget what the nature of the shared thing was now .... but we have often wondered since ... just how many people this individual shared that 'confidence' with and if it came back to them from somewhere ... whether they remembered with whom they shared it, originally!
With thanks to many good friends, it is, after all, plain old Gossip!
I was reminded of a ladies bible study we had in our home for a while where the pastor's wife would share "Prayer Requests" after the study. I often, as did my wife, thought these were Gossip in a way, too.

Just a real short story for a change. Something that got brought back as a memory on Facebook from a year or so ago.
