No one knows it but WE do and it just does not "feel" right. Then at times when I've gone out of my way to return the change that was given to me mistakenly, I can begin to feel a smugness of "wasn't that a grand thing I did" and then have to again "check" myself and call a foul on arrogance to let God know I'm sorry and ask to be relieved of that dreaded "self importance" tendancy. isn't that thing called a conscience a wonderful gift.Mollyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659366521767357537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999348592503609924.post-19760473156631065402010-04-20T22:36:18.102-05:002010-04-20T22:36:18.102-05:00Hi Pastor, another soul stirring - and thought pro...Hi Pastor, another soul stirring - and thought provoking blog. One thing occured to me as I read. There was a time in my life that I was almost incapable of being honest with myself.God really helped me through those times in my life. Until I could be honest (truly honest) about ME.... integrity was only something I pretended to have when people were watching....which is not integrity. It was phoney and it was pride. Now I know that integrity is measured by our actions when no one is looking. (Actions - not intentions) <br />I just love love love your blog. My momma is also a very clever writer and I pointed her in your direction....she enjoys and reads often too.<br />Thank You Pastor - for all the lessons.Lori Gomezhttp://www.good2gotaxpro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999348592503609924.post-11904053620373190532010-04-20T21:21:20.008-05:002010-04-20T21:21:20.008-05:00Thoughtful words, John.

I got a couple of those from you, and gave a few myself. Lots of fun.Drew Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214662218338358441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999348592503609924.post-53144502515702615082010-04-20T19:39:51.311-05:002010-04-20T19:39:51.311-05:00Great blog, I think we find ourselves in small th...Great blog, I think we find ourselves in small things each day, in which we have to make the coice of right and wrong. I wonder if I could have done what Davis did. I hope so. I do give wrong change back because it comes out of the workers pocket and it was not mine to start with. God bless you for keeping us on our toes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999348592503609924.post-51521285483541840902010-04-20T15:55:32.367-05:002010-04-20T15:55:32.367-05:00Great blog, John.

It's always interesting to see the looks on their faces when you tell them. I've had them look at me like I am crazy, but they are always grateful. It always feels good to do the right thing.
