Just me trying to be honest with God.

Isn't a story supposed to get better and better every time you tell it?

It is one thing to improve telling a story to make it better, and another to exaggerate or misrepresent the details, which basically make it untrue. Be a reliable witness, the truth doesn't need exaggeration.

“Like the useless legs of one who is lame is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.” Prov.26.7 “Conversations Within” ts 10/1/25
