Tonight at youth group I noticed Middle Boy and his friend, Z, each had one ear bud in and were OBVIOUSLY listening to something.  Didn't really seem to matter that the youth pastor was speaking or that they should have been taking notes or at the very least paying attention and being respectful.

I texted him to tell him to stop listening to music!

He texted back that he wasn't listening to music.  True...not right that second so he isn't technically lying.

I told him I am wise to the nuances of his lies and we are going to start living by the spirit of the truth versus the letter of the truth.

This will be really uncomfortable for him.

Pray for truth.
