Just me trying to be honest with God.

“There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.” Josh Billings

I exaggerate, and sadly this is no exaggeration. Recently I have realized that doing so is not wise, nor is it funny. It is just being unreliable. Exaggeration doesn’t make one’s story more interesting or illustrative, it makes it dubious.  Little exaggerations can add up to great misrepresentations of the way things really are. Faithfulness in small details give an accurate account and is what makes our witness reliable and something others can trust.
