"...He is a shield to those who walk in integrity." (Proverbs 2:7)
It has been said, 'Reputation is what other people think about you. Character is what you are when you are alone and no one is watching." In ancient times, a soldier carried a large shield to protect himself from the arrows of the enemy. Today's police badge is a carry down reminder of those days and those protective shields. While it will no longer protect you very well physically, it can remind you that integrity and character will protect you from attacks and accusations. You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Character and reputation take a lifetime to build and maintain; and only minutes to loose. Is your shield up today? Proverbs tells us that God will be a shield to a man or woman when that person walks in integrity. Now there is a shield you can count on.

Funny for the week: Concerned Owner
The 6 a.m. regulars at the dog run are, not surprisingly, a pet-oriented group. Recently John started discussing his trip. "The flight was awful! We were delayed for a few hours, and when we finally boarded, the baby behind me didn't stop crying for the whole flight."
Another dog run regular turned to him in surprise: "What did the owner do?"
