I stole something today. Well, actually, it wasn't today, I just found out I'd stolen it today. You see, I'm a bookworm. I was much more of a bookworm when I was younger and I've got the eyesight to prove it. Anyways, I'm trying to be financially responsible so instead of buying books, I check them out at the library. We have one that is a few minutes from where I live and I think its great. Sometimes I'll go in with a mission and purpose, and other times I'll just go in and meander through the stacks that smell of old knowledge and new experiences.
A little before Christmas, I knew I'd be spending a few hours in Texas airports, so I wanted a few books. I looked to make sure they were not checked out through the online catalogue, had them held, then popped in, checked them out, and was on my way.
There are three of them, all by Dr. Henry Cloud. And they are due tomorrow. So I went online today to recheck them out and it only had two of the three books listed. I called the library to tell them one of them wasn't showing up on my account. Sure enough, one of them was never checked out in the first place. There's no record of me taking it so there's no way to recheck it out. I'm a thief!
The coup de gras of all this? It's the title of the book. Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality.
