IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

How many time have you bought something from TV and it turned out to be junk?

The world constantly offers good deals, knowing full well it is just a sales pitch. The item they are selling doesn’t cost much to manufacture, so if they can sell them in quantity they will make a killing.  All they have to do is find someone to buy the idea.  Their bottom line is making money, they don’t care if the product will only work one time then break.

The drug cartel is the same way.  Their product is cheap to make, so if they can sell in quantity they will make a killing.  They promise to give you euphoria and happiness.  Their product will take away all your problems.  What they don’t tell you is you are broke after the first time you use it.  That small high is gone in a flash and you need another, and another.

The sad thing is people fool themselves into thinking, it won’t happen to them.  It is only recreational and they can stop anytime they want to.  If only that were true.

As parents we need to teach our children to be content in the meaningful things in life, like family. Cherish each other, learn to laugh and play and hang around people who love life and the giver of life the way you do.  Do all to the glory of God. Take their problems to the Father, not to a temporary fix.

We as writers are the author of the happiness of our characters. We are also the author of our own happiness.

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.  And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.  And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.      Luke 15:12-16

  4. I think that what you published made a ton of sense. However, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a post title that makes people desire more? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article headlines to grab people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
