31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes ~ Truth

Have you ever played the game two truths and one lie? It’s a game played at a party where you tell the group two truths about you and one lie. I’ve played it maybe once or twice. So, here goes. I’m going to post two truths and one lie about myself.

1. I have broken bones in both arms and both legs
2. I grew up in Connecticut.
3. I had a tumor removed from my ear when I was 7.

I’ll tell you the lie at the end. It is easy to tell lies, especially to those around us who don’t know us very well. Even our kids lie to us at times. Why do we not always tell the truth? If you have ever testified, you swear to tell the truth. The jury has to decide if you told the truth or lied to them.
Even the media tells lies daily. They leave out part of the truth to get people riled up. Why can’t people just want to tell the truth? Why are there so many lies? It’s because sin entered the world and when that occurred lies started being told. 

I remember listening to Patch the Pirate while was growing up and there was a song about telling the truth. One little lie can grow to a big lie, so make sure to always tell the truth.



My lie from up above is number 1. I have never broken any bones in my body.
