It irritated me that they had done the old switch-a-roo, so I stopped pumping (I think I had put in a couple dollars worth before I noticed.) I finished that transaction then started over with the lower octane stuff. <br /><br />While it bothered me that I didn't even notice, I actually thought it was clever of somebody to figure that they could probably get a few extra bucks simply by that change. I think it says something about how often we act out of habit and not intentional thought. Does that ever happen at church? ..............

It should be no surprise since the master of deception set the stage in the Garden of Eden when he asked Eve, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" Satan used a distortion of the truth to cast enough doubt into Eve to begin questioning the wisdom and faithfulness of God. As a result the first division of God’s people occurred. He does it us all the time. “Did God really say…” We begin to doubt what God says in His word and try to explain what we think He meant by it and so the division begins. The seed of doubt is planted and we begin to look for reasons to exclude brothers and sisters in Christ because they view it a little differently than we do. Deception – distortion – division – it’s work since the beginning of time. May we not give Satan the satisfaction! My prayer is this: May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give us a spirit of unity among ourselves as we follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth we may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 15:5) Finally, [may] all of us live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. (1 Peter 3:8)Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358470510252088313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9572503.post-22702455471073402192007-01-12T08:41:00.000-06:002007-01-12T08:41:00.000-06:00Clear the air?
