She Stole My Money

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood. - Thoreau

we gathered honey

sticky sweet not owing us

she stole my money

Author's Note

“By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before. It” - Thoreau

Ouch, I felt some pain here Pete, but sense the damage could have been worse. Or could it? There’s always a few rotten apples in the barrel.

Better your money than your heart!

[Pete]

lol. they take the money and trample your heart!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Most of us { women } aren't like that, though.

[Pete]

... thank god.

[ETERNITY]

Yep, the Bible says Lay not up treasures which are corrupted for thieves to steal...

HOWEVER, we have good sense to realize we need to put away some savings, right?

Awesome as always, sweet Pete.

[Pete]

true but it still hurts.

[ETERNITY]

What hurts, darlin?

[Pete]

... feelings ...

[ETERNITY]

IF somebody stole from you, take it as a lesson if you are not criminally charging them, you must forbear.

[ETERNITY]

Feelings get hurt all the time. Pick your battles wisely.

[ETERNITY]

I love you as a brother in Christ. But read your Bible. It tells you that you must learn how to discern good people from not so good.

Wheat and Tares, babe.

[ETERNITY]

Taking everything in consideration written here, Pete, maybe she felt like she was "owed".

All in all, this is a compelling piece, Brutha!

[Pete]

a sense of entitlement is a dangerous thing.
