“Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” - Luke 3:11
Pabama: (Rhymes with Alabama) Def: A feeling that there is more. A desire to make a difference, to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Not willing to accept the current state of the world, and not wishing to point any fingers. The burning desire to improve, to fall and fail, to be picked up and try again. To prepare ourselves for eternity. To stand triumphant one day, only through Jesus, and hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Your Business is God's Business

Daily Hope - by Rick Warren

“God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business.” Proverbs 16:11 (MSG)

God doesn't bless dishonesty. The Bible says, "The Lord demands fairness in every business deal" (Proverbs 16:11 NLT). That includes wages, sales, and taxes.
If you want God's blessing on your finances, you have to be honest. You can't rip people off. Profit made dishonestly always brings trouble ¬– always.
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it." (Proverbs 10:22 NIV)
Have you ever known anybody who made money, and it just brought trouble? You will always reap what you sow. If you are dishonest with others, it will be returned to you. If you think you haven't been caught, understand that the clock is still ticking. You cannot mock God and get away with it.
Be honest with your finances: “It is the Lord's blessing that makes you wealthy” (Proverbs 10:22 TEV).

This is a great reminder.... I guess I should put that pencil back and stop searching craigslist on my work time.....
I know that this is a little more specific but it made me think about my work ethic and integrity as a whole. Am I being a man of integrity at work? Am I using my time wisely?? Resources???

"the clock is still ticking"....
