She went to work today and heard as a matter of gossip
That a pastor and his wife of seven years are getting a divorce

That a pastor and his wife of seven years are getting a divorce
This friend knows that this pastor is my friend and she called me immediately
She was very
concerned that a friend of mine is getting a divorce and I didn't do anything to stop it
She said I ought to have raised a prayer altar and invite all the trolls and gnomes on Twitter and other social media so that we can uphold this family in prayer so that the family will not

A lot of people disguise gossip under the banner of concern, in this lady's case her phone was on speaker
She and other people in that office had talked about the issue so much that what they needed from me was more information to stoke the fire of gossip that is aglow

in their hearts
She waited for me to speak
I kept mum
She said "So what is the plan now, what are we going to do to help this man of God?"
I didn't say a word
I just cut the call
After a few minutes, as I was about to start the car, she called back
This time she was off speaker

She said "Sir, I dont know what is happening to the church nowadays. I and my colleagues have been talking about it nonstop. So many marriages are facing difficult times and there seem to be no way to stem the tide

She said "Sir, I dont know what is happening to the church nowadays. I and my colleagues have been talking about it nonstop. So many marriages are facing difficult times and there seem to be no way to stem the tide
I said "You were practically feeding off the news of this
divorce.
It is the highlight of your day
See how excited you are?
Stop pretending, you really don't care about this man's marriage, you just wanted to feast off the carcass like a vulture
That is so unchristian of you and let me say this, I have never been ashamed of a believer

She didn't respond but the call was still on, I have said my piece so I cut the call
I get home, I see a lengthy message from this lady
She said "How can you tell that I was not concerned? Why did you call me a vulture? I take an exception to

I get home, I see a lengthy message from this lady
She said "How can you tell that I was not concerned? Why did you call me a vulture? I take an exception to
that. I know he is your friend and when I heard about the divorce from a very reliable source, I decided to call you to confirm the news
I did not wish him any ill and it is not my fault that he couldn't keep him marriage from failing"
I didn't bother to reply
I have nothing
I did not wish him any ill and it is not my fault that he couldn't keep him marriage from failing"
I didn't bother to reply
I have nothing
personal against her and she has a right to respond to my chastisement
A few minutes ago, my phone rang
It was this lady's husband
I assumed she had told him what happened and he was calling to talk to me about it
So I didn't pick up the call

My wife had a colleague about seven years ago, he was an African American who came to do some research work in West Africa and my wife was part of that project
I met the guy only once and noticed that he had a very big tongue
My wife had a colleague about seven years ago, he was an African American who came to do some research work in West Africa and my wife was part of that project
I met the guy only once and noticed that he had a very big tongue
it showed when he spoke because he lisped some of his words
As you know we have four children, the first two and then these last two
The gap between the first two and the last two is four years
We had agreed we will stop at two children before she came home one day and announced

She was pregnant
She claimed the family planning failed
She got pregnant again a few months after that third one
Again, it was a "Mistake"
I didn't think anything of it until I was taking the children to school a few weeks ago and I noticed that both of them were lisping
Wow!

The only one who I could remember lisping was that man and it suddenly dawned on me
There had always been this restraint in my heart towards her and those children
I couldn't place my hand on it but the way she had been behaving since that time was extremely suspect

I remembered that my wife and all the other doctors on that project had some papers that wrote after their project
It was the summation of their research
So I got my wife's copy and checked out the name of this man

take any action on this matter
Please don't be alarmed sir, I am not upset or troubled or depressed in any way

I begged him to drive to a pastor friend's house and not to go home immediately

I begged him to drive to a pastor friend's house and not to go home immediately
I called the pastor friend and explained what had happened to him
I said he should keep this brother in his house at all cost until I call to tell him things are fine
Then I called the doctor and asked her to take a seat because we need to discuss something
I told her everything

I had barely finished speaking when she started appealing to me to please beg her husband to keep her secret
She said it was a difficult time for her because her husband was dealing with an illness and she planned to leave him but
she later changed her mind and decided to stay when things improved
She said she will cater to the needs of the children by herself and do anything her husband demands of her but she does not want a divorce as that would kill her aged mother
She cried and cried and cried!
