God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Gossip leaves a wide trail of devastation wherever and however it goes – word of mouth, email, blogging, YouTube. It erodes trust and destroys morale. It creates a social environment of suspicion where everyone must wonder what is being said behind their backs and whether appearances of friendship are sincere. It ruins hard-won reputations with cowardly but effective weapons of misrepresentation. It manipulates people into taking sides when no such action is necessary or beneficial. It unleashes the dark powers of psychological transference, doing violence to the gossiper, to the one receiving the gossip and to the person being spoken against. It makes the Body of Christ look like the Body of Antichrist – destroyers rather than healers. It exhausts the energies we would otherwise devote to positive witness. It robs our Lord of the Church he deserves. It exposes the hostility in our hearts and discredits the gospel in the eyes of the world. Then we wonder why we don’t see more conversions, why “the ground is so hard.”

INGREDIENTS
1
Sheet frozen puff pastry; 12×14 inches
1
Egg white
2
ts
Water
1 1/2
ts
Grated Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Let the frozen puff pastry thaw for about 30 minutes, then lay it on a
floured surface. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix the
egg white and water. Use a pastry brush to "paint" the mixture onto one
side of the pastry. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and cut the pastry
into strips, 1/2 inch wide and as long as the pastry. Place the strips on
an ungreased cookie sheet and gently twist several times (a good job for
kids). Press the ends onto the cookie sheet so the strips don't unravel.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
