single parenting with Amber Jones

It’s funny how people act in front of different people……..the character they portray. I had a discussion with a co-worker and she was talking about the sermon that the minister had given the previous Sunday. To summarize, the minister had stated that if the only reason you were going to service was to put on a show for people — meaning you thought people would believe you were a better person if you went to church on Sunday, therefore that was the only reason why you went — then you really had already gotten your reward.

Therefore, when you died and went to heaven God wouldn’t give you any additional credit for going to church because you had already recieved your reward while you were on Earth.

It caused me to think about other things and wonder if the same rules would apply — if you only treat your family well out in public because you don’t want others to see how you really speak to your wife/husband/kids? If you only attend your child’s activities because you want people to think you are an active non-custodial parent? Etc.?
