Liar Liar Pants on Fire

I totally lied to one of my friends. It was a little tiny misleading that turned into a big fat ugly lie. Just like Fib on the Veggie Tales movie. Did you see that?
I have been all deeply spiritual and contemplative. I have been reading and praying and meditating. I'm, like, all holy. And then this lie slides out all smooth and easy. Just like I do it all the time. How can I be a Deliberate Christian, and sin so easy? I'm on thin ice.
If I ever lie to you, I'll tell you pretty quick. I get this nagging concience that won't let me sit still. It gets very loud in my head. The guilt squeezes tight on my heart and my head accuses me so loud that I can't think.
And it won't go away.
Damn! (that's used in context, really, so it isn't swearing. Right? Condemnation=Damnation. I think it's a very appropriate thing to say, given the circumstances. I would never say it out loud, though, that would be unladylike)
Of course, Lying isn't so ladylike, either. Everytime I think I'm doing okay, I find mud on my face again. Like a mud mask. Very purifying for the pores, as well as the soul.

Sunday, Tim said that when someone says they don't lie, that's the surest way to know a liar is standing right before you. Everyone roared with laughter because we all knew it was the truth. ~paj

Does it not just suck that we each have our own weakness, which rise up at the most inappropriate of times and slap us in the face? Drives me mad! You get to the point where you think you can coast, or you are distracted by life, or you are ill, whatever - and blam! right in the kisser we have found ourselves failing both Him and ourselves as our baser natures take over.

Sigh.

How I long to be in Heaven, with Him, where I know I will not be failing Him any longer!

I wonder if a mud mask does anything about curing pride.....

HI Paj!
Hi Kjp!
Yeah, you know I am a liar and proud. Plus sundry other sin issues. I collect them, apparently.
