BAG OF DIRTY SOCKS FOR $2800

"Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in." - Billy Sunday

Michael Suarez of Ypsilanti, Michigan, arranged to sell a pound of Marijuana for the sum of $2800. He and a couple of friends were to deliver the drugs to a couple waiting at a local park. Here’s where it gets interesting. Suarez and his accomplices didn’t bring marijuana to the drug drop at all - instead, they brought a backpack full of dirty socks! Upon delivery of the backpack, Suarez and friends received payment of $2800 and quickly sped away. Racing from the scene, Suarez ran a stop sign and was promptly pulled over by a vigilant police officer. Then, during the traffic stop, the officer was approached by a man claiming to have been robbed by Suarez. Upon search of Suarez’ vehicle, the officer found the $2800 in cash made as payment for the backpack full of dirty socks. It did not escape the officer's attention, however, that the man crying "Thief!" had
actually intended to buy a pound of weed!

Is any one wondering where I'm going with this? Hold on I'll tell you. This couple had a 'desire' for weed; and in life, your desires will usually lead you to strange places. Suarez, offered to meet that desire as a result, in exchange for money - something valuable. But, in the end, they lost their money, and ended up with more trouble than they expected.

The devil uses our desires, to get us into trouble. He deceives, and takes from us valuables in exchange for dirty, no good, irrelevant and destructive tendencies: bag of dirty socks. For instance, he entices a man with alcohol, and later on the man realizes this is the cause of his cancer - a bag of dirty socks. He promises you one thing, but gives you another. Be vigilant, the devil offers nothing good!
