One of my wife’s third graders was wearing a Fitbit watch, which prompted my wife to ask, “Are you tracking your steps?”
“No,” said the little girl. “I wear this for Mommy so she can show Daddy when he gets home.”

Lying seems to be becoming a national pastime, not just for preachers and politicians anymore. You’re right, the Bible has a lot to say about it.
A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
I like “Snopes” which is a well-regarded reference for sorting out myths and rumors on the Internet. The site has also been seen as a source for both validating and debunking urban legends and similar stories in American popular culture.
Give it some thought.
