I wanted to share briefly a story I heard the other day ... that really affected me... I was listening to the christian radio station... a speaker came on for a minute.... he told a story of a man in Pennsylvania.... who was driving and as he was passing on one particuluar road..... he saw a little boy fishing in a little pond... the man pulled over... rolled his window down.. and said "are they bitin?" and the little boy said "no.. but the worms sure are.." the man chuckled and drove on... as he came to a gas station, he got out and went inside and asked the men "good fishing areas around here?" and the men said "ya you passed it.. just back there in a little pond off the road".. the man said "yes I saw a young boy there"... and then he shared the story with the men.... the men also chuckled... then one man all the sudden got a pale white fearful expression on his face... dropped what he was holding and jumped in his car speeding in the direction of the little boy... when he got there... he found the boy dead.... you see the man realized when it hit him that the boy said "the worms sure are".... that he wasn't playing with worms... he had been playing with baby rattlesnakes....
The mans point was... sometimes we can play around with "small" sins in our lives... thinking we wont' get bit.... but eventually.... we will..... and while it might not destroy just our own lives..... it might destroy those around us...
I know this has been true in my own life......
Well it was such a powerful story... I just wanted to share it with you all....
