Something odd is happening with blogspots posting - it is stamped as though posted by Gabriel, but this post is actually by "Lyn".
The recent newstory about the "runaway bride" from Georgia has given me some interesting thoughts. If you're not familiar with the story, follow the link.

My thoughts were that people just don't call things as they are anymore. The news reporters were saying "she told a tale". "She made up a story". Well, what she did was lied. She put her family and fiance through hell and she lied about a kidnapping. And there will be no penalty for her behavior.
Why do we have to make things sound so "pretty"?
"Extra-marital affair" is - Adultery!
"Living together" is - Fornication! (which by the way, I couldn't find that word in the dictionary)
"Partners" usually is speaking of - Homosexuality!
"Overeating" to beyond full is - Gluttony!
"They gave me too much change, it's their fault" is - Cheating"!
"I want this - I want that- is - Coveting!
"Our four and no more" is - Selfishness!
"Making up a story" is - Lying!
And I'll go one further.
"Nothing can separate us from His love" BUT us. - Not believing what the apostle Paul wrote and what Jesus has done!

Amen sister Lyn! All are examples of calling things something they are not! And changing the truth of Paul's words denigrates the beauty of the message! Jesus love us! Nothing can separate His children from Him!
In the case of the woman in Georgia her fiance has said the wedding is "postponed".
Something tells me another word (cancelled, kaput) is meant there too! What a mess!
