Sometimes…..I don’t like God. Sometimes I think, “He’s a meanie.”
I think that anytime that I don’t get to do what I want. Whoever it is standing in my way…..they’re a meanie!
I mean…come on! It’s the cashier’s job to make sure that they rung-up everything, right. It’s not my fault they’re incompetent, is it? I can’t help that they didn’t notice the $60 worth of stuff laying on the bottom of the cart. I wasn’t trying to deceive anyone. It was right there in plain sight. I saw it just before walking out the door…..when I realized that it had been missed. Why should I turn around and point this out?
Comforter, Restorer, Peace-Maker, Nurturer……
try…..Tormentor!
God spoke to me.
“I don’t want to go back and pay for it.” I protested.
God speaks again.
“Stealing? I’m not a thief! Are you saying that I’m a thief? Why are you being such a meanie?”
God again.
“But…I didn’t….he wasn’t….his fault….why? Ok, ok, ok, I’ll pay for it when I return to the store to pick up the stuff I had to special order. $60, sheesh…..meanie!”
The worst part of it all…..meanies are usually right!

I had a friend who accidentally stole a pair of sunglasses. He was afraid that if he took them back to pay for them he would be arrested. I don’t even think he wanted the glasses.
Daniel,
I noticed the stuff after I checked out but before I was out of the store. I ACCIDENTALLY didn’t tell anyone before I left. I tried really hard to convince myself that it was my reward. I was reconsidering my opinion of “prosperity gospel”….you know, the whole do for Him and He’ll do for you way of thinking. I’m amazed at how quickly my ideology can change when it’s to my benefit.
