say again? 100/366
the idea for this post came as I was walking the other day
I've noticed the "starter" before,
but not done anything with it
I delayed this week
because it is a painful zinger
I walk over or around this (and one other) everytime I walk down Landsdowne
most of the time I am focused on something and don't read it
but the other day the words arrested my attention
SANITARY
SEWER
somehow those two words don't fit together
but calling it what it is isn't as pleasant
like
skinny jeans,
in my size,
sounds good,
and it's the style I buy at Kohls,
but those words and my number and body shape,
they don't fit together
(please don't go off on a tangent here; I'm being honest)
it has me thinking about other things I have tried to make sound better than they are
little white lies?
is any lie little
and why assign a color?
church fellowship meals
I have used them as an excuse for gluttony-
wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by not trying what they brought
prayer requests
have been known to be a cover up for gossip
all in the name of praying more specifically
I have passed off hours spent reading
or playing mindless games
as "relaxation" rather than what they are, wasting time
sometimes I get busy doing "good stuff"
so I won't have time to attack the best or necessary things
because the best and necessary are "hidden" or harder
"I am just being honest"
can be followed by words whose purpose is not really to be honest,
but to inflict deep pain
anyone else have sins they slap a different name on
so that they don't convict you
so they don't make you uncomfortable
so that you don't have to make changes
so that you look good from the outside?
Sanitary Sewer
Skinny Jeans
the list is endless....
it's past time I begin to call a spade a spade (call something by it's real name)
rather than using a misnomer
"This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 1 John 5:5-10
