LOL! Okay, so is telling your wife she looks beautiful even if she looks like a wreck after chasing the kids around all day a sin?
Are you kidding me? Those are some of the times when she looks the most beautiful to me.
I know where you are going with this. I wouldn't feel like those lies were a sin, but I can't go by my feelings I have to go by what God says. Is there anyplace in the Bible, your half or my half ;^), where God condones someone lying, even if it is for a good purpose. BTW, silence does not equal condoning.
