Bury Them: * “Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.” (Henry Ward Beecher) * “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing

each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.” (Colossians 3:12,13)
