I Am Acquainted With A Wife And Mother Who Is Chained Securely At The Present Time To A Life-style Of Murmuring And Criticism. She Is The First To Point Out Faults In Her Husband Or To Repeat Neighborhood Gossip. How Damaging Is A Habit That Permits Fault-finding, Character Assassination, And The Sharing Of Malicious Rumors!

I Challenge Youth To Cooperate With Parents Who Are Concerned About Your Reading And Your Viewing. Be Concerned Yourself About What You Take Into Your Mind. Young People, You Would Never Eat A Meal Of Spoiled Or Contaminated Food If You Could Help It, Would You? Select Your Reading And Viewing Carefully And In Good Taste.

Often Our Self-esteem Is Bruised By Criticism.

God Grant To All Of Us The Power And Strength To Be People Of Integrity, And The Insight And Wisdom To Avoid Being Led Into The Snares Of The Dishonest.
