Walk with the wise...or else!

I don't know if Paula Deen is/was wise..or is/was a fool...but I know one thing for sure...her "companions" are suffering harm.  Right?  She has almost lost every sponsorship deal she ever had!  Bottom line is they are afraid that the collateral damage from her words will inflict as much or more damage on them..

Same thing goes with that pro football player recently arrested for murder.  His posse is definitely feeling the pressure too.  Not fun.

My guess is the "friends" of both had some idea this "stuff" was going on..

You (and I) just gotta always be aware of the things people we hang out with are doing...

Is it something wise OR is it foolish?  Makes me really review the Andy Stanley study we've been walking through at church.. "Guardrails".  Good stuff.



#Proverbs13:20  @jaythebanker

Practice what we preach..

I really was surprised to hear Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter picture caper was perpetrated by HIM.. Over many years.. Yes, very stupid indeed.

However, he confessed (yesterday) to sending those less than appropriate pictures to those young women. Hooray that he came clean and is dealing with it! (FBI was hot on his trail too)

But as far as his family and constituency, not so much.

Interestingly, at church we've been studying forgiveness. Nothing like getting to practice what we preach..

So, can you (will you) forgive this man, this father, this husband, this leader of our country?

In the meantime.. I'll be praying for his family, the man himself and my country.
