THE CHURCH GOSSIP..........................
Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the
church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new
member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the
town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told Frank (and
several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.
Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just
turned, and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny... he said
nothing.
Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of
Mildred's house...walked home...and left it there all night!!!
