  A city 'employee' in Lodi, California, is s'uing the city for d'amages 'after he backed a dump truck into his own parked car. The 51-year old man argues that because the "city's vehicle d'amaged my p'rivate vehicle," the city owes him $3,600. As 'ridiculous 'as 'this sounds, blaming 'others has been a basic human trait since the beginning.
When Adam 'and 'Eve 'ate from the 'forbidden 'tree, their eyes were opened and they l'ost their 'innocence. God asked the man a simple, yet 'penetrating question: "Where r u?"(Gen. 3:9). In the past, Adam had intimate fellowship with God, but now he responded in 'fear 'and h'id himself.
God's follow-up question was m'ore convicting t'han the first: "Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should n'ot eat?(v.11). Then the blame game started: "The w'oman whom You gave to be with me, s'he gave me of the tree, and I ate"(v.12). The man b'lamed God and the woman for his s'in. The w'oman blamed the serpent rather than h'erself. Ever since that day in the Garden of Eden, we tend to b'lame others rather than ourselves for our s'inful choices.
When we s'in, we should take responsibility. Let's p'ray like David: "I acknowledged my s'in to You, and my iniquity I have n'ot hidden"(Ps.32:5).-------Marvin Williams
Lord, help me n'ot excuse my s'in
And b'lame another person;
For if I d'on't admid my 'wrong;
My s'in will only 'worsen.--------Sper

The 'first' step in repenting from s'in is to 'admit that u r to b'lame.
