I am un-friending everyone, literally, who is a grumbler, always pointing out things one considers to be wrong with the world or who always talks about one’s aches and pains.  Didn’t your mother ever tell you, “If you don’t have something nice to say, keep your mouth shut.”?  All this name-calling, labeling, blaming is more than just not nice.  It’s actually unscriptural.  And isn’t it ironic that so many of the grumblers are often the scripture-quoters?

I love this particular translation of Philippians 4:8 :

Whatever is just, whatever is true, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

And talk about them too, for heaven’s sake!
