A radio news series about honesty in America talked about excuses. The commentator said that people use three types of excuses when guilty of wrongdoing. The first is outright denial  a rejection of any involvement. Sometimes this is done even though the person is obviously guilty. The second is the “It’s not my fault” excuse. The person looks around for someone he or she can blame. (Often it is a loved one – a spouse or a parent. Sometimes it’s the boss.) A third form of excuse is the “I did it, but….” approach. In this instance the person blames circumstances for his or her shortcoming. Either he or she has been struggling with some illness or the assignment wasn’t clear or the car’s been giving him or her trouble.   Examine your excuses.  Which kind do you use?  Wishing you much love and much light.
