Achan and the Ticket Machine

Achan and the Ticket Machine
(a story for gen y)

fb post - stop judging me

Conno station and the line in front bought tickets.
The lady in front used her card. The machine doesn't like cards and protested.The blank screen stayed blank. Much button pushing failed to cajole cooperation. The dilemma. Train is coming. No ticket is a criminal offence. My wants or break the law. I just want to go to Eastwood. Don't want fuss.

Achan loved the look of the robe...the design and texture...exquisite...a work of art, gorgeous. He love the glint of the gold...the shine of the silver. Must not keep this Jericho stuff, though. Specifically must not keep. Who would know? Really...who would know?

fb post - I hate the way people judge me

The train guy on the platform said to just buy a ticket at the end. Just tell them to ring and he would tell about the blank screen that no amount of button pushing would bring to life.

The city was taken with stamping and shouting and the blast of horns. The walls came tumbling down. The next city cost 36 men. Wha!!!!Why is this happening? Moan moan stamp feet.

fb post - people are so judgemental

The machine was broken...to the man guarding the gate at Redfern. Where can I buy a ticket? (Annoyed that I interrupted his conversation...points). Out the station and along the way. The machine was broken, can I buy a ticket fron Coniston to Eastwood? The train is coming, runs down stairs. So much fuss. So inconvenient. Who would know or care? Moan moan stamp feet puff puff.

Achan, was it you? Yes, I took the stuff. Buried it near my tent. So they stoned him. They stoned him and his kids. Stoned the sheep and the donkeys. Burned all that was his. Moan moan. Stoned his kids. And the animals! Stamp stamp. Really!

fb post - don't you just hate the way people judge you?

Next station Eastwood (with no collection gates for tickets). Just walk out. I just want to ride to be simple. Just want my life simple. The young ones often skip the fares. I have heard them say. The ticket police ask them and listen to the stories. They are the same. Oh the machine was broken. No big deal. Really, no biggie. I mean who really cares. Make sure you get one next time then (takes name). Really. Not as if it is like .... 

fb post - got busted today...so annoyed... why me?? (moan moan stamp stamp) People are so *#@* judgemental.


God has an opinion The story of Achan can be found in the book of Joshua in the Bible.
The story of how you can get out of being  judged can also be found in the Bible. It is free. 
The story of gen y and judging can be found anywhere, anytime.....but not with everyone of them....and not just gen y...it is in there inside us all.
