Take the Blame

The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” – Gen 3:12

Passing blame.  A game we have been playing for centuries.  When I am busted for my actions, it is always the fault of someone else.  My parents raised me that way, everybody is doing it, I had no choice, my teacher doesn’t like me, blah, blah, blah.

Take responsibility for your actions.

If a ruler’s anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great errors to rest. – Eyck 10:4

Suck it up.  Admit  fault.  Ask forgiveness.  Make the change.

We are responsible for our own actions.
