Tell No Lies!

True to typical prairie weather fashion, yesterday started out gray enough, but by noon the brilliant blue skies had chased away the gloom...

Right into the core of my being! Remember those sentiments of homey sweat home? Well, what greeted my girls when they walked in yesterday was a little closer to SCARY! My oldest daughter saw fit to set me straight-

"I really hate it when you're grumpy!"
"And do you think I like it?!" I charged back in my 'mom' voice. (Intelligent, huh?)

What I really wanted to know was, what happened to the warm fuzzy stuff I had blogged about so much earlier that day?!!!!!!! Even my husband shook his head and was sorry that he hadn't signed some sort of mood wavier on our wedding day!

(Girls, if anyone ever comes up with something like that, once a month we are ALL in trouble! LOL)

That led me to thinking:
anyone anywhere can post whatever-the-heck they want to on the internet. We actually have no reason to believe what other people talk about on the news, talk shows or the world-wide-web, not to mention the send-this-to-10-friends-and-good-things-will-happen e-mails!

The end of my day yesterday had no resemblance what-so-ever to my post. So did I lie? Did I make it all up?

Nope. Not a lick. All true.

First of all, it takes way too much time and energy to make it up! That is not to say though, that the media doesn't like to spice up news stories, and talk shows have to ham it up cuz they want us to watch! But for me, personally, I'm just not all that imaginative!

So if you can't trust the news completely (the weather alone turns a newscaster into a liar!) and talk shows...well, somehow there's always another show about what "REALLY" happened behind the scenes or the internet - I could have NOT confessed the end-of-day events....

Then what is true?
Jesus. The Word.
It is the one true thing.
It's what makes the stuff of life true to form, even if the day looks more like a rollercoaster ride!

So here is my goal for today:
To redeem myself today when the girls get home.

Oh, and the One True thing is also what forgives.

.....I just hope the girls can forget too, cuz that was flat out ugly!
