My son, home from college on vacation, accompanied me to shopping on a discount store. At the check out counter I put down the items I had selected-an artificial plant for the bathroom , a toy for the dog and two hour fire place log. As I took out my credit card , my son glared at me . you know wat u r doin dad? U r bying a rubber bone , a fake fern and a mock log. Suddenly his frown changed to a grin . “ But I guess it’s all right” , he continued , “ since u r paying for it with plastic money .”
O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
