One Lie leads to another, and another and another...

"A lie keeps growing and growing until it is as plain as the nose on your face.

A boy who won't be good might just as well be made out of wood."
-The Good Fairy, Walt Disney's Pinocchio

Proverbs 6:16-23
"There are six things which the Lord hates,

Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that run rapidly to evil,

A false witness who utters lies,

And one who spreads strife among brothers.

My son, observe the commandment 
of your father

And do not forsake the teaching 
of your mother;

Bind them continually on your heart;

Tie them around your neck.

When you walk about, they will guide you;
When you sleep, they will watch over you;

And when you awake, they will talk to you.

For the commandment is a lamp 
and the teaching is light;

And reproofs for discipline are the way of life."
