Mixed Messages

Today, at a McDonald's restaurant, I saw something that made me laugh. I had to take a picture of it and share it with you.

Yes, this is a real stand-up ash tray with a no-smoking sign on it. What were they thinking?

It reminds me of all the mixed messages we send everyday.

Like:

• When Christians say "Love the sinner, hate the sin," and then turn around and treat people in a hateful way because of their sin;
• When people say "We should be open-minded about everything," when by definition that means being open to both truth and lies;
• When we say "Do as I say, not as I do."
