As some of you know, Kathy and I are selling our property up north. We had an incident in this experience that fits the lessons for today. The house inspector for the buyer came in early December just prior to a bitter cold snap. When we arrived at the house over New Year's, the LP tank was empty. Consequently we needed a special delivery on New Year's Day, and were assessed an extra charge for that delivery.
Nobody wants to pay the bill.
That's the way most of us are about sin. Local politicians seemed unable to talk about or even recognize the horror and sin in the act. They gave a strangely upbeat spin to the disaster when they spoke to the media. It's a terrible way to do it, but we do end up getting a real opportunity. The lessons today show us a different way to be.
