Getting Even

Do you know how many ways you can get ripped off on the internet? No one does, because every second of every day someone comes up with a new way to rob you. You have to have triple security just to read this stupid post. I’ve already had my identity stolen twice. Wachovia invented a new way to steal from you, called Way-2-Save. They get unsuspecting customers to allow the bank to automatically transfer a dollar from your checking, to you savings account. Then, when you come up short by a buck or two to pay a bill, they slam you with a fee.

Don’t even think of hooking up with anyone you meet online. Want to buy something on Craigslist? Ebay? Amazon? Save yourself the trouble and just throw your money away. All this brings me to the story of Ananias and Sapphira.

Everybody knows the story in Acts Chapter 5. Ananias sold some land, and lied to Peter about how much he got for the land. Sapphira was in on the scam. Well, all they had to do was tell the truth, but they couldn’t even do that. So, after Peter confronted each of them, they dropped dead.

I can get mad at everyone who lies to me and rips me off. Yeah, I can get mad…

God, on the other hand, can get even.
