At Any Price

AT ANY PRICE

Several years ago a woman by the name of Mrs. Jane Kolodziej was attempting to have her husband released from the psychiatric ward where he had been committed because she had testified that he had tried to kill her and their two sons. She had told the judge that she believed her husband was mentally ill, so the court ordered him to be sent to the psychiatric ward.

Suddenly, Mrs. Kolodziej decided that she wanted him back again, and announced that she had lied to the court and staged a 4-day sit-down strike at the hospital. Finally she won his release by signing a waiver where she made the statement, "I want him out even if he kills me!"

Three months later, her husband beat her and the two children to death with a 2-foot length of pipe.

She wanted her husband with her at any price, even life itself, and that is exactly the price she had to pay.

When I read that story I couldn’t help but think of so many I have talked with that want their sin at any price--no matter what that price may be!
