Certainly the Bible supplies general guidance about everything from money to sex to gossip, but there are still times when it's not clear what decision is best.

I use the same question when I'm watching TV and she's not there. I give it the Roberta test. Some men who travel put a picture of their kids next to the hotel room TV set. The message is loud, without anyone saying a word.

If the kids were with Dad, could they watch this program with him? That certainly keeps we men who travel away from most of the pay movies and from a lot of the late-night premium channels.

That's me in several areas of my life, including my vocabulary. It's been cleaned up a lot, and I don't take God's name in anger, but I still can be stunned at some of the words coming from my mouth.

I also duel with gossip. I'm in the news business. Perhaps a dozen times a day, someone asks: ``What do you hear?'' The Indians want to trade for a certain player, or the Browns are close to drafting someone -- that's information.

But sometimes I hear things about the personal lives of athletes and coaches. I have no idea if they are true. I try to sometimes stop people in the middle of a story when it's obvious where it's going -- and it's just character assassination disguised as passing along information.

So true, and I'm not proud of it. When I criticize someone, I want to take issue with the action, not the person. A smart guy can make a very dumb trade. That doesn't make him a moron.

I recently listened to a CD of a sermon by Mike Breaux, a pastor from Willow Creek Community Church outside Chicago. It was part of a series he did about figuring out God's will for our life. He said God is more concerned with the person we are and what we are doing rather than where we are doing it.
