I think that explains sewing/reaping pretty well;
and any protestations of exceptions are naive.
And while you are right about why i believe as
I do, I can say that I have got beyond a slavish
empty 'belief' here, which allows that although one
invariably--that's 'always'--reaps what one sews,
there will be many, many personal moments that
might seem to contradict this.

I have a new--and I mean new--pair of
snow boots, that I needed badly, only
because my mom and sis were shopping
with me, and they spoke them there, on the way to
the next store we were going to, after 3 misses.

I had gotten discouraged, finding no boots at all
in the first three tries; but that feeling dissolved
amidst the shame, and the sick certainty I
experienced the moment they corrected me
in the car, describing the boots we had yet to find.

Now that is a fact, although I'm fairly sure
where you might come down on the issue.
The fact you stated above, and quite often your
other facts, appear to be true enough from your
pov, but might be described as exceptions by most believers;
revealing your premises; but revealing them to whom?

There in the car yesterday, I'm curious what your response
might have been to my sister's aghast look, and confident
statement that not only were we going to find a pair of boots
in the next thrift store, they were going to be brand new, just my size, etc.
