A woman named Vicki once knew a young person at church named Betty.
Betty always seemed effervescent and happy, although Vicki knew she had faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage had quickly ended in divorce. She had struggled to get a grip on her single life. She hadn't chosen it, but she decided she would live it with utmost enjoyment and satisfaction. Betty was active in Sunday school, in the choir, as a leader of the junior high girls' group, and in the church renewal movement. Vicki enjoyed knowing Betty. Betty's whole face seemed to smile.
One day Vicki asked Betty, "How is it that you are always so happy, you have so much energy, and you never seem to get down?"
"Did they lie to you about who they were? Or did you lie to yourself about who they were?"
"Everyone is a moon and has a dark side, which he never shows to anybody."
We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car that will take 5 years to pay off.
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
