I heard words I never heard in the Bible. –Paul Simon
“Hi, Honey. How was the game?”
“(mumble, mumble)”
“What? And you seem to be home early.”
“I can’t believe it. They threw us out of the park. Me and my friends just had a few beers and started yelling names at the other team’s center fielder. Then one of us threw something at him. And then we were out of there.”
I often imagine conversations. How do you go home and tell your family that you’ve acted like an irresponsible jerk? And then suffered the consequences.
There is a story in this morning’s local newspaper about a guy who had too much to drink, chose to drive his car, caused an accident that killed someone. Now he has very public consequences–three years in jail.
We all do something stupid at times.
For some people, it’s a lifestyle.
It is possible to change.
