True or False

True or False:  

1.)      “Other people need to hear my loud music.”

2.)      “God helps those who help themselves.”

3.)      “Duct tape can fix anything.” 

4.)      “My cigarette makes me somebody.” 

5.)      “Women are emotional.” 

6.)      “Men don’t care.”  

1.)      False.  There’s always the stupid/criminal answer to this kind of behavior, but surely some of these folks have real reasons for doing this, reasons I myself might be demonstrating in my behaviors. 

2.)      False.  It does not say this directly in the Bible.  However, there are texts that state that obedience to the Law will be rewarded – and this is also most certainly untrue. 

3.)      True.  I could swear that a few years ago I saw an old Ford pickup in our neighborhood painted a shiny silver color…  until one looked at it closely and saw the hundreds of fine lines.  It was completely covered with duct tape and it really looked good! 

4.)      True. 

5.)      True.  Everybody is emotional.  Two drunken rednecks duking it out in the middle of the road are being emotional. 

6.)      True, if you believe what they say. 

We have a lot in common, more than we care to admit.  And we don’t want to admit it to those who make us uncomfortable.  Once we see, or are forced to see, that God puts things together we will all be happier.  Until then it’s going to be a little bumpy in life to put it mildly.
