My job as a telemarketer

In the 1990's I was looking for a job that met my schedule. My boys were still in grade school and I wanted a job that would allow me to be with them before and after school. There were not many that offered that schedule and that is how I ended up as a telemarketer.

I was sat up in a room with about ten to fifteen other people, told what to say, how to say it and when to say it. I had a script to read. I remember that it was raising money for an organization but I don't remember what it was for but it was very much like the calls everybody gets that ask for donations for a worthy cause. Now I will say that there are worthy causes and than there are the not so worthy causes.

I had been there for about eight days when I got a call that stumped me. It was someone that had the audacity to ask me how much of the proceeds went to the cause and where the rest of the monies went to. I looked through the whole script and there was nothing in it with the answer. I went to my supervisor and he gave me such a vague answer that I was very confused. I tried to tell the person what he had said but he didn't understand what I was trying to say and hung up. To be honest I didn't understand what I was saying.

I went back to my supervisor for a better explanation of where and how the monies went. He chastised me and told me that if anyone ask that question again to just transfer the call to him. I went to lunch that day and never went back. I called the supervisor the next morning to tell him that I could not work for a company that didn't have straight, honest answers. I didn't like the confusion.

The devil is full of confusion. He doesn't give honest answers. He woos and will give a script of sin and selfishness. He makes his script look like the easy way. His script is full of give it to me now, dishonesty and vagueness. He wants to keep you confused. His script will not lead you to the answer but it will lead you straight to hell.

My God is not one of confusion. My God's script is full of the right answers. His script will lead you to honest answers. His script will lead you to honesty, love and truth. His Script might not be the easy way but it will lead you straight to heaven!

What script are you following?
