Evri One a Liar

We’ve all been there, or heard of it from others. Yesterday, it happened to me. Though I was in all afternoon, an email came from the delivery company, Evri, saying they had been unable to deliver because I had been out, but no problem, they’ll try again on Friday.

But there was a problem. I was in. And I had been waiting. The delivery driver could just not be bothered. I clicked the link and entered my details. A photograph of what appears to be the driver's leg was offered as proof that he called.

Evri, like many other delivery companies, employs a number of shysters who presumably expect to be punctually paid for delivering, but are not so quick to dispatch the items. I have previously concluded that when interviewing for delivery drivers, HR departments consider poor road skills as essential requirements, with sketchy knowledge of geography a desired characteristic. To that, we may add the bonus feature of dishonesty.

Sadly, religious leaders and their organisations around the world are little better. They promise much, and deliver nothing, often syphoning a fee in the meantime. Only the Lord Jesus gives so much for so little, and He always keeps His word.
