NOTICE

• I’m pretty sure I don’t know anybody from Little River Academy, TX or Monticello, GA so stop calling me. 
• I haven’t had a protection plan so I don’t need to renew one. 
• I have never purchased cloud space for my photos so go ahead and delete them because there aren’t any. 
• I haven’t updated my resume in twenty years so I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen it and I’m positive I don’t qualify for the job you are offering me, primarily because I’m retired for a reason. 
• I’m not trying to be rude but if you text me, “hello,” I’m not responding to you. 
• I’m also ignoring the “how are you doing” or “are you in the office” text. You’d better be a little more specific than that if you want a response. 
• I guess my UPS package that is undeliverable will just have to be returned to sender. 
• I don’t have a long lost relative in some faraway land who has left me a fortune in his will.

Whatever happened to making an honest living? Being on the up and up? Why do we constantly have to have our guard up for schemers and scammers? It makes me tired. And sad. 

LORD, thank you for being straightforward with us so that we know exactly who you are and what you want. You are the One True God, Creator of the universe, Giver of Life. And more than anything, you want to have a personal relationship with each of us. Thank you.
