Who has time for this crap?
Last night my lady and I enjoyed a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. I ordered a steak and cheese, fries and we split a spinach and cheese dip. We continued our date night by going next door to Barnes and Noble so I could look for the James Bond book Ive been looking for. I soon had to make my way to the restroom. Dont worry I will not venture into details. I went straight to the stall. As I eyed my surroundings I happen to see, in blue sharpie, a phrase. It read: Be aware that you are lying to yourself. I wondered, as I sat there, what is it that I lie to myself about? Maybe I believe that I look good in a certain shirt, or maybe i believe that a certain pair of jeans make my butt look good or the worst yet, maybe I believe that my hair looks good long (like a slight to medium comb over). After the many things ran through my mind, it hit me that its not so much that we believe our own lives but more that we believe the lies that the devil tells us. The devil is the author of lies, and he looks for everyway for us to take our focus off God. So many people believe the lies that propel them to themselves or to others. Although this "revelation" came to me as I sat there, I, in no way ever felt the need to whip a sharpie out and write on the wall. Don't get me wrong, Ive had plenty of epiphanies sitting on a toilet but never have I had an inclination to write it on a wall. Who are these people that write on bathroom stall walls? If I were to go to the bathroom at their house, would there be writing on the walls in there? Would they have no problem with me writing on their walls? Its mind boggling to me that people still do that. So I ask seriously, who even has time for that crap?
