	So what is gossip?   It is sharing negative information about another person, organization, group of people or entity whether true or false when either the speaker or the hearer are not directly involved in resolving an issue.  It often masquerades itself as concern and quite honestly most gossip that occurs we know that we are doing it.  THINK before you speak.
	Can you go 8 days?
	Calls, e-mails, and letters came in from all over the world and your response proved that there is a "High Cost to Low Talk".  From those who lost jobs, business that closed, many who had friendships severed, countless lost faith in so called Believers and religion, families who where destroyed, children whose lives were forever altered by the devastation of Gossip.  We have heard from those who have taken the challenge, others who are planning to take it and passing this challenge on.
