I have come to realize that consequences for actions only sleep when it appears they have been dodged.
Things happen and acts done for whatever reason give me a sigh of relief as the morning dawns and all is as it was. Birds sing. The grass still needs to be mowed, animals need to be cared for . . the wind still blows. How can anything be wrong on a day like this? The very world is ignorant of sin, and death, and pain. It's like you were duped into believing that all was well.
But God doesn't work that way. Wherever you are, there you are and God has been there the entire time. You really can't 'get away' with anything . . .
I rest in the peace of that.

I've been "out of the loop" for awhile, so instaed of trying to catch up, I'll just start here.
Sin is like that...it lulls you into a false sense of security, makes you feels things are not as bad as they are or not as they seem to be. Then suddenly one day, the trap is set and tripped. Once you are in that trap you are often times still blind as to what happened. It takes someone outside of yourself to sometimes make you aware of your position.
We must always be ready and willing to listen to others. Somtimes they can see things so much more clearly.
