The Truth, what is it good for?

When someone asks you for the truth, what are they asking you for. Do they assume that you would tell a lie, so they are asking you to tell the truth? When a women asks a man, "Do I look fat in this Dress?", does she really want the truth?

My wife was just fired from her job as a sales associate. He had just been awarded "outstanding sales associate" award last month. She received a letter that said how proud the company was of her. A couple of weeks ago she was reprimanded for being too friendly with the customers. Later she was reprimanded for being not friendly enough with the customers. She was then reprimanded for being too nice, and then to mean to fellow employees. She was them reprimanded for not asking the manager before making decision, and later reprimanded for calling up a manager to ask a question. Last week they asked her to quit. She denied the request. Yesterday they fired her, made promises they couldn't and wouldn't keep just to get rid of her. This all to save thousands of dollars, plus they could hire someone else at minimum wage and save even more. Because of their actions, we are without health insurance and her perfect work record has been tarnished by lies and innuendos. They say that they will fight unemployment payments, and not reimburse her for her college classes that have one week left. (College reimbursement program). I will not say who the employer is because that ACLU will be looking into it. Now we will have lawyers involved and a lot more money spent because a company didn't realize what the truth was, or chose to ignore it because they thought they were above the law, and spin was easier.

Political problems are caused by using spin instead of the truth.

In Grand Rapids, a high school graduation cannot have the Lord's Prayer sung during the ceremony. By the way, the ceremony is being held in a church. If church and state are suppose to be separate, why hold the ceremony in a church. This is not about rights, its about lies, lies that singing one christian song, in a church, will violate one persons rights. The truth is that a small amount of people want to make sure that Christians don't have rights.

To tell you the truth, I am angry this morning. I am pissed off. I am not angry with God, because he will guide us through. I am not angry with my friends, because I care for them. I am angry when people lie to my face or to someone else. Stand up and tell the truth. Don't hide behind spin and half truths. Why hurt others for your own glory and wealth.

I will now go and pray that God will help these people. I pray that they will seek his forgiveness. For us this is one bump in the road. We will survive, but there are others out there who won't.

God bless you all.
