GOOD MORNING!

For decades, one of the best selling newspapers in the nation was, “The National Enquire. During the 1980s the tabloid's slogan in radio and TV ads was, "Enquiring minds want to know." With a circulation topping 6 million at its peak, there were indeed people waiting to hear the Enquirer’s version of the truth each week. 

Using paid informants, rumors, shady sources, it fed off of the dark nature of humanity exposing people’s deepest, darkest, secrets to the world at large. 

Though “rags” like this one tend to have a large audience, I doubt many of their reporters are very proud of what they do. And I am sure they wouldn’t want anyone to do a front page, hold the presses, story on their personal lives.

Let’s not engage in “National Enquire” relationships with others. There are confidences that are meant to be kept. I’m not talking about lying or covering up sin, especially not sin that involves or might hurt other people. Simply put, if you want to keep your friends then keep your mouth shut. For the Bible states in Proverbs 25:9, “Argue your case with your neighbor, and do not reveal the secret of another,”

Words to live by if ever I’ve heard them!
