Think how many times people may have said things about anyone of us and we were not guilty...talk hurts so the writer of old admonished us to shun from the appearance of evil .So if we KNOW ahead of time people will talk then why do it?

At the same time I know if two ladies (godly) live together to share expenses people sometimes still talk...so the tongue will always have something to say...but we can do our best to live above reproach.


If I shared a house with a lady I would do my best not to be together at every moment...like I have seen some... People would know I have my interests, my life...etc...

It is sad that people seem to always imagine evil but it is the society we live in...

I am a people person and to think I would have to be alone is terrible...I would want someone around even if it were just for the noise...

Both of my sisters live alone and one keeps a television on all the time just for the noise...

Thank you, Mother A...seems we are all in agreement here...
