That gave me an idea, I had to pass a little store the next day, and
they sold cookies. I thought to myself, "Well, what's another cookie 
going to do to hurt me?" 

I only bought one little bag of cookies; that's how disciplined I am. I
thought one little bag could easily be hidden. At least that's what I 
thought. 

When I got home, my wife was not there yet, so it allowed me time to
conceal my little cookie obsession. I concealed it near my easy chair, 
so I could access it without her knowing it. 

I love it when a plan comes together. 

I forgot about the bag of cookies because days can get hectic. After
supper, we sat down in the living room to relax and enjoy just a little 
TV. It suddenly dawned on me that I had a little stash of cookies 
underneath my chair. The more I thought of it, the more I thought of 
it. 

During a commercial, my wife got up to go to the bathroom, so I thought
this would be a great time to sneak a cookie. I reached under my chair 
to grab the bag of cookies, and I couldn't find it. I searched and 
searched and searched, and it wasn't there. I started to scratch my 
head and wonder where I put it. 

Then my wife came into the room and said, "You weren't looking for this,
were you?" 

In her hand was the bag of cookies I hid under my chair. 

Wearing a little grin on my face, I thought of a verse of Scripture,
"But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and 
be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). 

Try as we might, our sin will finally catch up with us.
