「Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;

　And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.」　Amen.

(Luke 23:12 ) “That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.” These two men became friends by speaking ill of Jesus. Talking behind one's back is like putting wood in a fire. There is a story like this. The wife of a subordinate came to Peter the Great and spoke ill of her husband. When she spoke ill of her husband, Peter said, “It's none of my business.” The wife then invited him to speak ill of Peter the Great as well. The emperor immediately said, “It is none of your business.” Do not be careless and do not speak ill of others.　

　May you spend today in the shade of the Lord's wings....　　

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
