…Pants on fire…
What is in humanity that gives it the capability to act independent of itself?
What I will I do not do, that I will I do not.
Evil is present.
You know often when I am forced to answer personal questions I lie. It’s not intentional, but really, who intentionally lies? How do I overcome this behavior?
I believe people ask questions they have no right to know. It is a strange culture. In my culture people knew what to and not to ask. I am not saying this is right. I am just used to it.
In this new culture I am unable to cope. It is as if the participants stand around with knifes tearing answers away from each other. Why?
So I lied this morning. I am ashamed.
I am not ashamed that they still do not know the truth. I am ashamed that offered this as truth. God has given me the ability to choose. It reminds me of Ananias and Sapphire. Truth was mine in the first place. I could have kept it.
My responsibility remains the same. Judged, sorry Lord, I fall down on my face.
Moral to the story: I will learn to smile and walk away.

Who are you? If I offended you for some reason or another I’m sorry. I wish I knew who you were. Maybe I should clarify what this was about because a lot can be assumed. It’s not usual, I know, for a person to say I lied. Though everyone has done it, it is because when we say this, people don’t know what to believe about you. The culture that I was refering to was school, the people where girls in my classroom, who thought wanted to know rather I had turned my paper in already. The truth was I hadn’t. I went to turn the paper in and then found out we got an extention so I kept it. Now on the day the paper was do I was late to class. The professor took my paper and did not count off for it because she saw it before, but she counted off points on their paper because it was 10 mins late. When they asked have you turned in your paper I said yes, though I had it in my bag. Technically I did turn it in, but I took it back. My point was I don’t believe God is in to technicalities. I should have just said no I have it and no the teacher is not counting off for me because…but I didn’t want the grace shown to me to be abused. I concluded that I should have just changed the subject or left or said I have my paper and we’ll see. If I tell you I am not a liar, I’d be lying. How many times has someone ask you does this look good…or how about that and you don’t say the truth. God doesn’t understand these “white lies” He sees it as a lie and as I try to move toward God’s standards I have to let these things go and deal with the consequences of the truth. Or not let people carry me into place I have no desire to go. I did not say this to defend myself because I am guilty. I said this just to explain the process I am going through, and I hope I called you whoever you are cause if I didn’t, this is another example of how I need to be responsible of my words. My husband told me Ta’Mar all you have are your words use them well.
