My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Marvin Williams  -  AT THIS LINK  -  wrote of a man, who, in dealing with judges on multiple traffic tickets, told the same lie over and over; but ultimately he was convicted of multiple counts of perjury and forgery as the man’s lying had become an addiction.
