One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for August 29, 2012

Guilt by association is probable cause, Ruthie!

She’s just trying to give Him the ‘proper perspective.’

Put it back on the plate? I would have sacrificed myself for the good of the family and eaten it right then and there.

sadly, you are only responsible for you, Ruthie

Our Pastor could use this example for his sermon.

I think she is trying to say…“Don’t blame me….look at the examples I have!!!”

Mom, door to door salesmen don’t even deserve the courtesy of a polite lie. I was visited by a magazine salesmen once and made the mistake of being nice enough to listen to her complete sales spiel and then she cursed me when I wouldn’t buy anything.

Go ahead and throw them under the bus Ruthie. Just tell God is a case of Nature vrs. Nurture.

Grandpa smokes?

Thanks Ruthie, that was a great example of the tendency for Christians to substitute legalism and judgmentalism for unconditional love.

Not a wink — an indignant squint, more like..celecca, ♥Kab♥ Buch: you got it right. God understands extenuating circumstances, but at the end of the day, you did what you did…no one else. Just ’fess up, be honestly sorry, and try to do better next time.

Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.

Best to get a “NO SOLICITORS” sign for your door.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28: ‘Come unto Me, all those who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ Now all Ruthie has to do is confess HER sins to Him.
