I have a choice that I can surrender my fear for love. That love that only God can give.

This past week was one of the best weeks I've had in a long time. I got
everything completed, as well as some overdue projects. 

There's no feeling quite like the feeling of having accomplished your
goals for the week. As far as I was concerned, this called for an Apple 
fritter celebration. Just keep this between us and don't let 
you-know-who hear. 

Driving home from my office, I was whistling and just enjoying myself
while I was nibbling on my Apple fritter. My goal was to get it 
finished before I got home, and because of the week I was having, I 
finished that goal as well. 

When I walked into the house, I was met by the Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage, and I noticed a rather serious look on her face. I thought 
maybe she had a bad day, and I was not going to let her bad day 
influence my good day. 

So I said, “Hello, my dear. How has your day been?” 

I wanted to tell her how my day had been and how excited I was to
complete all my projects. I was excited, but that excitement kind of 
went south. 

“What have you been up to?” She said as serious as I've ever heard her. 

I have heard this kind of question before. And it's very important how
you answer that question. You might tell something they don't know, and 
that will get you into more trouble. My job is to find out what they 
think they know and hide what they don't know. 

As you can see, I'm a veteran husband, and I did not know what was
coming my way. 

She then repeated herself, “What have you been up to lately?” 

At this point, I was a little worried because I could see there was
something very serious she was talking about. I didn't quite know how 
to take the next step because I didn't know how serious the situation 
was from her point of view. 

Of course, I wanted to make sure that I didn't spill any beans that she
didn't know about at the time. I wouldn't have known what they were 
either, but that's a different story. 

“Listen to this phone message.” 

She picked up the phone, pressed the button and I heard the message. 

"This is a Social Security Officer letting you know that a warrant for
your arrest has been established. They will be at your home tomorrow 
around 4 o'clock to facilitate the warrant unless you call this 
number." 

I was speechless, which is not unusual for me. Then my wife said, “Do
you want to tell me what this is all about?” 

It's not enough that I'm in trouble with a Social Security Officer, but
I'm also in trouble with the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. To be 
truthful about this, I'd rather be in trouble with a Social Security 
Officer. But I have to take my trouble one step at a time. 

I did not know what to say to my wife. I never heard of a Social
Security Officer or what they do. Why would the Social Security come 
after me? I'm certainly not going to call that number. 

“Are you keeping something from me?” My wife queried. 

I did not know how to answer because I have never found how to keep
anything from her as long as I have been married. She knows what I'm 
doing three weeks before I'm actually doing it. How could I keep 
anything from her? 

Certainly, I can keep things away from me. So when I do something, I
forget about it and have to be reminded that I did it. But as for
