It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Psalm 118:8
One of the man-made plagues of the modern era continues to be monetary scams, created by deceitful ‘Confidence Men’ attempting to sham their way into your pocket book or bank account. Although there are numerous types of scams, the primary definition holds true: a ‘grifter’ (one who makes a mark) convinces a ‘victim’ to gain the grifter’s trust. Once the con-man has obtained the victim’s trust, he will likely convince the victim that there is money to be made for completion of a task, often involving an initial investment of money. When the con is over, the grifter disappears with profit and the victim is left at a loss. It is hard to pinpoint the nature of the con-man, as the primary determining factor among them remains the reliance of the victim’s good faith.
Several years ago, many of you will recall Al Gore producing a movie in which he warned America and the rest of the world of the coming danger of ‘global warming.’ During this same time, it was noted and placed in magazine articles that it had not snowed in quite some time. The winters were becoming warmer, with less distinction between the seasons. In fact, one report said that it hadn’t snowed in Washington, D.C., in 3 years, which was evidence that the planet was warming and the atmosphere was becoming hotter.
