Let's say you get a store receipt that says at the bottom: "fill out a brief survey for a chance to win $500 in monthly prizes" and then has a website listed. You come home, fish the receipt out of your pocket and put it on a (growing) stack of stuff on your bathroom counter thinking you'll come back to it and fill out the survey - you never do. That which was supposed to be there temporarily has become permanent, at least until you go through the whole stack at some point and throw 98% of it away immediately. Just recently, I went through a stack of junk mail growing on our kitchen counter only to find an envelope addressed to my neighbor had accidentally been delivered to my mailbox. I took it over and put it in his mailbox - 9 days after it had originally been "delivered". We as humans typically "err" on making stuff that was temporary into stuff that is permanent.

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
