Disobedience

Two postings in the same day. Wow. I will end up like my great friend Roger Blackmore if I am not careful.

The John Edwards situation brought home to me that it is also true that people are waiting on the other side of our disobedience. His wife, family and friends are devastated and feel betrayed. His admission of guilt was very lame. Was I the only one to wonder where his contrite spirit was? He played the whole thing in my opinion as if it was not that big a deal. Ask those on the other side of our disobedience if it is not a big deal.

Don't want to sit in judgement on this, because we are all capable of this, but maybe a focus on the folks waiting on the other side of our disobedience might be enough to sober us up. Understanding the pain that will be caused is enough to override the selfish drive for immediate pleasure. Is it really that good? Really worth putting everything on the line for.

Any way, people are waiting on the other side of our disobedience.
