Ever done something really stupid to save face in front of people you are trying to impress? It is not a good idea.

Mark 6:25-26
Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.

Redemption! The theme of all the stories of our lives. Let us all look for level ground.

Psalm 26:11-12
But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
My foot stands on level ground;
in the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
