Lead me not into temptation, I think I know the way by now...

Today I woke up and started getting ready for work when I noticed 2 boxes sitting on the porch. Pulled the boxes in along with the mail and set them on the chair. Couldn't imagine what was in them since we haven't ordered anything mail-order in quite some time.

After looking at the mail I went to the boxes and was ready to open them when I noticed the address label. They're for another residence entirely.

It would have been so easy to just ignore the fact that they weren't ours, but I dutifully contacted FedEx and asked them to pick up these wayward packages. Still waiting on a reply.

Mom always said a man needs to be honest, but why do they have to test that saying so often?

We are tested every day in every way. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be OK and we'll thank you for it.

Is that the package comes from Waterbury, VT. This is where Paul and I got married a few years ago. Very odd coincidence!
