Proverbs 11

     This week I chose Proverb 11: 13. It says, " A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret." This means that a person who spreads rumors and gossip can not be trusted by another with their secrets. I agree with this because no one can have confidence in someone who spreads rumors around all the time. You don't want to tell them anything.
     One Action step i can take for this is to not be the person to spread rumors. When someone tells me something I will make sure to honor it and keep it between me and that person.
     Second action step would be to when I tell someone a secret I would make sure they would keep it a secret and if they did I would be very disappointed and make sure to not tell them something like that again.

Proverbs 10

This week I chose Proverbs 10: 14. It says: "The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin." This means that smart people keep things to themselves and don't spread things around such as rumors. While fools talk about things and instigate problems with themselves and others. I liked this verse because I agree with what it says smart people keep things to themselves while foolish ones spread stuff around and only make other people mad. My first step to improve this is to be a smart person and not to spread rumors around. My second step is to try and stop all rumors that come to me and tell the person to stop spreading them too.
