I probably have one of the most unique life groups. We're small in number and majority of us have a age gap of around 10years apart.

Businesses lose tens of thousands to millions worth of profit because of employee theft, and unfortunately I'm part of the reason. I don't steal at a dramatic rate anymore but sometimes i'll scab food at the deli for me to eat customers aren't around.

I pray for discernment that I'll be able to practise my beliefs not just at Church but also in my workplace.
