Heatherater the Exaggerator

Last week in some meeting, I voiced this fatal mistake: "EVERYBODY leases a car." So a certain-somebody in the room decided to put my everybody-proclamation to the test. And in that room of 10 everybodies, there was 1 who leased a car. Nice. It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Heatherater the Exaggerator! Man, I hate it when she shows up. What are some signs that she has? Words or phrases like: "EVERYBODY," "YOU ALWAYS," "NOBODY EVER," "I'LL NEVER," "THERE 'S A TON," "I'M STARVING," "I'M DYING," and "THERE'S A MILLION." The list goes on. Here's two unarguable reasons not to exaggerate: 1. "Too much talk leads to sin." (Prov. 10:19) 2. Jesus never did. So whattaya do? Well, after last week's huge, embarrassing debacle, I started praying an unexaggerated prayer that goes like this, "God, let my words be true, amen." Amen? Amen.
