I have come across the most interesting of liars. They reside in places that you would not expect to find them. They carry hope like a torch in the sky and they talk like dreamers for they are dreamers. I used to think that dreams and lies are as different as night and day, but it just ain’t so. Even your dreams have boundaries that must be respected. Even your dreams have to be found in the word of God with respect to its laws. I am among a unique situation where some of my colleagues are not colleagues at all. I went to college at 18 and developed a community of peers long before we entered the wealth building of our lives. Then there are those whose only dream is to have the same experience some 25 years later. They think that they are my peers because we seemingly hold the same degrees, but they are not my peers. My peers are the ones who developed with me. The lie of the dreamer is this vain glorious thought that they would not have to reap what they sowed if they got saved. All they had to do was wave their magic wand in the air and suddenly they would be sitting by my side without the work or sacrifice. I don’t reject them because they don’t belong there, I reject them because they are not my peers.
