So here's the thing.
God doesn't want us to lie, right?
But what happens when telling the truth will hurt someone?
Everyone keeps asking me about X's plans - when is he arriving, what's his phone number, isn't he staying with you? I am finding it SO HARD to answer these questions. They all expect me to know his schedule backwards and usually I would, but not any more.
So I'm doing a lot of creative 'talking around' the issue. I can't come out and say, "Oh, he's not speaking to me anymore," because the immediate next question is 'why?' And of course I can't answer that. But people will gossip and speculate, and that will be hurtful to X. I know he doesn't want people speculating about his personal life.
And the only way to stop them wondering is to talk creatively around the truth.
