| Good point David....exaggeration, bending the truth, and procrastination are 3 of the easiest sins to slip into. Thanks for the reminder sue -------Original Message------- Toni, Thank you for the warm welcome and encouraging words. This post is a good reminder for us all because we as believers are representatives of Christ on Earth. He is the "Head" and we are the " Body" of Christ. As His representatives, every aspect of our words and conduct are under scrutiny by unbelievers who would love to catch us in even the smallest of indiscretions. "Exaggerations" is what came to mind as I read your post because I have to be careful in my everyday conversations to be as precise as possible.
