James, thank you for the complement. For many of the early years of my life, I thought I was the master of the snow job, and could tell any lie and would be believed. That works sometimes to fool the other person, but can never fool the teller of the tales. He knows what he REALLY is, what he can do, and what he can not. Through bitter experience it was made abundantly clear, that the dishonest man cheats only one person. Himself. It's like cheating at solitaire. If one will lie to himself that he has won a one person game by cheating, he will cheat anyone about anything. Dishonesty must do severe damage to one's soul. What are we, in the eyes of God, but a soul? If we cheat and lie, we are not worth the mud and sticks from whence Adam came.
