Classic Rants and Raves #25
The "it's not my fault" excuse reaches a point of diminishing returns very quickly. It's better to once in a while accept the blame for something that really isn't your fault than to have people start sarcastically saying among themselves that "it's never his/her fault."

For at least one hour every week, I have to turn off the TV, take a break from the modern world's cacophony, and enjoy some peace and quiet.
Most of my fellow Christians hold to the notion that nothing happens by chance. However, in the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus refuted this notion when said that one of the passers-by who didn't help the beaten man had come along "by chance."
It's funny how some people have names that match what they do. For example, a programmer named Cody or a nudist named Buffy!
