-
ABC News
Sticks and stones hurt four Hooksett, New Hampshire, town employees badly. After spreading false rumors about an improper relationship between the town administrator and another employees, Hooksett officials let four female employees go. Does the old adage "words will never hurt me" ring true?
-
Who was hurt by the gossip spread around Hookset? How were they affected?
-
When the venom of gossip is released, what effects does it usually have? How does it change your thinking about the subject of the gossip, and the gossiper?
-
See Proverbs 16:28 and Proverbs 20:19. What do these verses imply about the effect of gossip, and the nature of the gossiper?
-
The Hooksett town council said, "Gossip, whispering, and an unfriendly environment are causing poor morale and interfering with the efficient performance of town business." How do you think employees in such an office would feel? How would you feel?
-
See Romans 1: 28-32. What kind of mind does Paul say gossipers have? Do you think gossiping is a serious sin? What does God think about gossip?

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
