| "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Exodus 20:16
Now it doesn't come right out and say it but we have all grown up to believe that this basically mean do not lie. Do not tell something that is not true. Whether or not that is exactly what was intended (and I am inclined to believe that it does... and much much more) that is not the point of this post. We will believe it is true.
Originally I wanted to start this post: When is it ok to lie to someone? Jesus says never. Then I wanted to go on about how in this world we are obligated to lie in one situation or another. If not then we would be going around just ripping out the hearts of some pretty sensitive people. I have probably done more of my share recently of being "honest".
It would definitely would make me feel better in this moment. Just to rip into someone about something I see in them that is horrible. Or just slightly bad. It would make me not have to deal with what I have inside of me and make it about them.
See where I am going with this?
Of course when my rational mind and heart kick in it all just means that sometimes we just have to bite our tongues and just wrestle with whatever it is inside us that we don't like. Whatever this certain truth is stirring within us and then give it to Jesus. Or just wrestle with it and believe that whatever happens it is better than hurting others. Even if it's true.

| Do you ever go through phases in which you just don't want to be productive? I am in one of those phases now and I have tons of things that just have to get done. Like the frame on my car needs to be checked. Also, I have to get a tire to replace the one that was murdered the other day. I have to run my college transcripts down to TCC Metro campus. And I probably need to do all of this before the weekend if I know what is good for me.
I might turn my transcripts in tomorrow morning before going to CPR. I will get my tire tomorrow afternoon if there is not time in the morning. If that doesn't get done then I will just stay up after work on Friday morning and do the tires and frame check at the same time.
