Sometimes God chooses to give us relief, sometimes he chooses to build our resolve.

Wrongful? Fines at Georgetown Township Public Library

I would like to know if there is anyone else out there who believes that they have been wrongfully fined by the Georgetown Township Public Library, particularly for "scratches" on DVD materials. I have received a $4 and a $6 fine on DVD's that were checked out from the public library in Jenison, and having a considerable number of CD's and DVD's myself, I consider it highly unlikely that the only ones that I have damaged belonged to the public library, after having been played once or twice.

My Application It has been helpful this week in a battle I have been in. I have been given tools and info that could be used against my enemy. But Peter's sword keeps coming to mind.  I...
