Rejoice With Me!

Remember Christ's parable in Luke 15, where the woman lost one of her ten pieces of silver, then lit a candle, swept her whole house, and sought diligently until she found it?  Then she called all her friends and neighbors together saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece of silver which I have lost."

Well, this is kind of like that, only it wasn't a piece of silver, but a thousand bucks.  And I didn't lose it, but it was swindled away from me in a corrupt bait-and-switch camera and lens scheme by some low-down rotten slimeballs who then used my card number to run up $9,400 in fraudulent purchases. And I didn't light a candle, but I did flip open my laptop and research all the dirt I could dig up on these guys.  And, no, I didn't sweep my house (though I sure did want to beat someone with a broom!)  but I did call, and complain, and talk to, and argue, and scream, and yell, and cry, and threaten, and so on and so forth (as reported in a previous post) most DILIGENTLY! 

And guess what?  They actually returned ALL my money!  I really thought I'd be kissing this piece of silver good-bye!  (Of course, I am still going to report these jerks!)

So, my friends and neighbors, I say unto you all, "Rejoice with me, for I got mine thousand bucks back, which hath been swindled from me!"
