Scott discusses the real destructive force of rumors and gossip within a school and the responsibility each of us carry to rise above the temptation to join in.
Quotes:
Night Rider - "Rumors in the air like a thief in the night. Taking more than their share. Taking more than their right. Rumors in the air like a thief in the night."
Lawrence Lovasik - "Judging their character. Condemning their soul. It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one. Only the ignorant and narrow-minded gossip, for they speak of persons instead of things."
Proverbs 26:20-21 - "Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife."
Coaching Question: Did I do my best to stop gossip and rumors today?
