Reflection

1. What might be the lies behind the following behaviors or emotions? There may well be several possible answers. What truths do each of these people need to turn to in faith?

Abdul often complains. He’s been ill for years, and the doctors aren’t really sure what’s wrong. It gets him down, and it’s all he can ever talk about.

Colin’s tired, so tired he often loses patience with the children, and last night, when his wife wanted to talk to him, he fell asleep on the sofa. He’s working all the overtime he can get. He wants to be a good provider for his family, but it’s a struggle meeting the mortgage payments.

Cathy is thinking of moving in with her boyfriend. Her Christian friends tell her it’s wrong. But they don’t appreciate the way Paul makes her feel loved. She felt so empty before Paul came into her life, and now she feels kind of complete. Besides, it’s easy for them, as they’re mostly married.

Jamal spends hours on computer games. It’s damaging his relationships with his family. He’s not really living up to his responsibilities. Real life is a bit boring, for he’s just an ordinary guy. But in the virtual world he’s a hero.

Every morning Elsa feels the tension in her stomach as she sets off for school. Her classmates bad-mouth their teachers and gossip about others. They obsess about the latest fashions and the boys they’re going out with. Every now and then they make fun of Elsa for not really joining in. Sometimes she does things she knows are wrong. Most of the time she just feels on the edge.

Carla often gossips about people. She loves to put them down and point out their faults. It makes her feel good about herself.
