Knowing When to Zip Our Lips

Keep yourself from gossip.

Here is a simple formula that should be applied before speaking of any person or subject that has uncertainty tied to it.

T--Is it true? (Know this for sure.)
H--Is it helpful?
I--Is it inspiring?
N--Is it necessary?
K--Is it kind?

Good rule to live by: If what I am about to say does not pass the T.H.I.N.K. test, I will keep my mouth shut!

Proverbs 21:23 "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."
