It happened to me again this past week for the umpteenth time. The last time it happened, I promised myself it would never happen again, as long as I lived. So much for my promises, or maybe I died.

I almost stood, but at my height, I would be an easy target. It's hard
for anyone to miss a barn door, especially one with a flashy smile. 

I braced myself for what would happen next. Then it happened. The
elderly gentleman, with one last glance over his shoulder, bought a 
chocolate éclair. 

I was confused - relieved - but confused. What was all the secrecy
about? 

About this time, I saw him slither toward the bench where I was sitting.
Without looking at me, the man sank into the corner as though hiding 
from someone. 

He sat there for a few minutes and then he opened his bag with the
éclair. Just as he took his first bite, someone recognized him, came up 
and said, “Henry, is that a chocolate éclair you're eating?” 

He glanced at me and gave me one of those sick smiles that every husband
recognizes. No matter how hard you try to keep something (like éclairs) 
from your wife, it is impossible. 

There is a spiritual lesson here. No matter how hard you try to hide
your sin, somewhere, somehow, when you least expect it, someone will 
see you. 

An Old Testament scripture lays down an important principle in this
regard. “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 KJV.) 

David, the Psalmist, knew this and wrote, “Search me, O God, and know my
heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way 
in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24 KJV.) 

Live your life as though someone was watching you, because, Someone is
watching you.
