Honesty
I would tend to agree with them and the other several thousand folks surveyed. I believe I can deal with any piece of information given to me if I have the truth. Even on a personal note...just give me the truth and I can move forward. I don't play games - social or political games that is - well and don't want to try to figure out where the grain of truth lies in the expose of information - just give me the truth.
Here's an interesting fact...did you realize that four of the ten commandments deal with integrity and honesty? That tells me that God would join the several hundred thousand on that survey as well. Forty percent! Jesus spoke of the importance of honesty as well. It was a battle cry of sorts for freedom.
How does honesty fair today with our leaders? I am still haunted by a conversation I had with one of my nephews after he turned 21 and was preparing to vote in his first Presidential election. As we were discussion various candidates and their platforms and voting records, he said, "Aunt Deniece...it's pretty sad that we can't even trust the words that the leaders of our country say - the ones that we SHOULD trust."
I challenge both you and me to stop and think twice before speaking to insure our honesty and integrity remain at the highest level possible.
“The strength of a nation derives from the
integrity of the home.”Confucius
