I have sinned. I am a hypocrite and a heretic.
It is amazing how we talk ourselves into immorality. We make excuses. We justify our behaviors. We act like martyrs and blame others.
But the truth is, I alone am responsible for my actions.
“It was such a good deal!”
“It is for my brother.”
“But it is REALLY cold up there.”
“I’ll only do it this one time. This is a special circumstance.”
“Well, at least I’m not as bad as that other girl I know.”
Those were the thoughts racing through my mind as I stood in line to make my purchase…
of not one…
but TWO dog sweaters…
and a pair of doggie reindeer antlers…
Truly Penitent,
Katherine
