A Hiss in the Middle

Today I had the privilege of speaking to a group of church leaders at the Warren County Hospital about Resisting Gossip. They were a sharp bunch of interactive listeners, and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with them about this sticky subject.

One of them approached me afterwards and told me that growing up his mom had warned him and his siblings against gossip this way:

"Mother always said that gossip was like snake. It even has a hiss in the middle."
