I am reading a book called " Just like Jesus". A friend of mine told me that i have to read it and then we have to talk about it. So i told him ok and now i am reading it and trying to get it finished before i move to Virgina in a couple of days. I just finished reading a chapter on lying.
This Chapter really intrigued me because I saw how different Jesus was because he couldn't lie. People always told me that God couldn't lie and I alway disagreed with that statement. I was more along the lines that he could but chose not to. Lucado put it in better perspective for me that made me to think about how different our lives would be if we couldn't lie. How would my life be different if i wasn't allowed to lie. If you think through this long enough people's lives would be so much better and familes would be better If we weren't allow to lie. I am not a huge liar but when i do lie it is usually because i am trying to hide something i don't want others to know ( isn't that the reason most of us lie). If we couldn't lie to each other and we knew we had to be honest that would keep us from doing or say or being apart of stuff that we don't want people to know. This really struck me today of how better of a person one can be just by choosing to something small like not lying. given i don't have a lying problem but i do say that the times that i have lied have really done alot of damage in my life. how would your life be different if you weren't allowed to lie

It'd be very different.
Would we still be alive? Maybe someone would kill me, about something because I couldn't lie to save myself....or maybe my life would be different because people would always want to be around me because I wouldn't lie to them, and they would know what I say is truth...however, that is the way I operate, and thus far I have found that people either love that quality of bluntness/honesty, or hate me for it. :-)
