Because I know that sealing is often a symptom of another problem, I would offer to go with my friend to a therapist who could help them work out the issues around their need to steal (I'd wait in the waiting room of course but be there for moral support). Sue, I am LOVING the google spell check! |

If left unchecked, I would expect the theft amounts to increase, and when your boss finally figures his accounting system leaves something to be desired, your friend will have now put you--and anyone else--under suspicion as well. |

I'll post one more: The teacher asks if you wrote your son's book report. Your son claimed he did it but the teacher's right. Do you admit it?" |

Had it been one by Dickens, Hemmingway, Twain, Steinbeck and giving an in-depth critique; an insightful analysis of the book's objective; a concise precis that astutely sums up the author's ideas and concepts, it could only have been done by my son. However, if it was something like The Memoirs of Casanova, giving too insightful analysis of the author's objectives, offers various working examples of the author's ideas and concepts, a comprehensive undertanding of the whole process under discussion, that would prove beyond any doubt, it was the work of my son . |

You are driving to an interview with your local religious leader, and on the way you go 60 through a 30 mile zone. He is asking you questions to determine your worthiness to teach Sunday School and he asks you if you are obedient in all things. What is your answer? |
