"But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters."
1 Peter 4:15
I know that it is serious, but this one sort of made me laugh this morning. Busybody in the same list as murderer. I guess it drives home how serious God is about forbidding it. Let's do our best to stay out of other people's business today. Not that we shouldn't help, or listen, or support when asked... but we shouldn't be worrying about their problems. We have enough of our own. Sort of the Mote-Beam idea, right? Let's work on clearing our own vision today, keeping the spirit, and giving other people a chance to be who they are, not what we say about them.
