I’ve heard several times that to train people (at the highest level) to spot counterfeit money…the government puts them in a room daily (for up to 4 months) with nothing to do but count, and look at REAL paper money. (no fakes).

The theory, and proven results — is when any fake bill is slipped into the stack at the 4 month point they immediately know it is fake. BECAUSE all they have seen is REAL.

We, I, need to get into the Word directly — more than— taking in preachers, blogs, podcasts second hand scripture delivery.

If I spend considerate amounts only on the REAL Word of God— I will immediately know when it is twisted, distorted, or misused.

I have a long background OFF/ON of being in the Word. And true enough— sometimes I can detect misuse. But “sometimes” isn’t enough in a day where SOOOOO many are tickling ears and my flesh likes what they say or promise.

Until Next Time~Blessings, Kate
