Oh, JC, what a pretty pool you have!
There have already been over 150 posts, and I almost missed seeing it! (Still trying to catch up on this morning’s pings! LOL!)
I would love to be in there, right now - even though it is almost midnight there - it is stifling here! I have the fan going full blast, and the doors open. (It’s going to be AC time pretty soon.)
Tomorrow the guy comes to do the yard, and he’s going to install a mister around my porch. (That will cool the temp down 30 degrees, when turned on.)
LOVE that pool, JC!!! (And, Nikki didn’t have a clue when she was floating in the water, that she’d have such a beautiful daughter a year later, did she?!!)
Answering media charges of scandal and impropriety, the guilty politician responded with the plea, I have no recollection of those events. It was yet another attempt of a public figure to apply a strategy called plausible deniability. This is when individuals try to create a personal safety net for themselves by seeking to convince others that they had no knowledge of the events in question. Someone else gets blamed and becomes the scapegoat for the guilty persons wrongs.
Sometimes Christians have their own kind of plausible deniability. We claim ignorance of our wrong behavior, rationalize, or blame othersbut God knows the truth. The Bible tells us: Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). This is true whether the heart is pure or if its a corrupt heart robed in false claims of innocence. We may fool others who see us only on the outside, but God sees the reality of our heartswhether good or bad.
It is wise, therefore, to humbly confess our faults to the Lord. He desires that we admit the truth (Ps. 51:6). The only way to escape the sin and restore our fellowship with God is to acknowledge and confess it to Him (vv.3-4).
