CHARACTER

A wise person once said, "You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing to him or for him." (author unknown) Columnist Ann Landers put it this way, "The best index of a person’s character is how he treats people who can do him absolutely no good." In the Christian Scriptures, the Apostle Paul talks about entertaining "angels unawares." (Hebrews 13:1) What these writers are talking about here is more than an act. It’s an attitude - about life, about people, and most importantly, about the dignity and worth of every person. They’re referring to a life-cultivated habit of treating others with kindness, compassion, generosity and charity. Our true measure is best demonstrated by how we treat those from whom we have nothing personally to gain or lose, in the world’s sense, that is. Allow me to illustrate.

Many years ago reporters gathered at a Chicago railroad station to await the arrival of a newly selected Nobel Prize winner. As the six-feet-four inches tall giant, with bushy hair and a large mustache, stepped off the train, anxious reporters gathered around him. Amidst flashing cameras, important officials extended their hands and voiced how honored they were to meet the Nobel Laureate. He thanked them and then, looking over the crowd, asked to be excused for a moment. With quick steps he walked through the crowd until he reached an elderly woman who was struggling with two large suitcases.

Easily picking up the two bags in his big hands, smiling all the while, he graciously and attentively escorted the woman to a bus. As he helped her aboard, he extended to her his warmest wishes for a safe journey. Meanwhile, the anxious crowd had tagged along behind him, watching and taking in his every move. Turning to them he said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting." The man was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the world-famous missionary doctor who had spent his life helping the poorest of the poor in Lambarene, Africa.

Said a member of the reception committee to one of the reporters: "That’s the first time I ever saw a sermon walking."

Onward Christian Soldiers

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.



O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Wow, You're a Golden Retriever!

Golden Retriever

The Charmer

Laid-back, sociable and well-groomed, you've got your own hip little pack of groupies who just love to be around you. You have a brain inside that adorable little head of yours, though you use it mostly to organize your hectic social calendar. You never poop out at parties, and since you're popular with ladies and men, as well as children and adults, you dish out your wit, charm and luck to whomever is close enough to bask in it. The top dog likes you and wants to be your best friend, despite the fact that he doesn't really know what the heck you do. No one does, in fact, but everyone loves you all the same. A true foodie, you’ve got your keen ears fine-tuned to make sure you don't miss out on the opening of a trendy new place to nosh. But your youthful days of being able to wolf down food 24-7 are wagging behind you, meaning you've got to watch what you eat so you don’t pull a Brando and outgrow your coats.

Famous Golden Retrievers: Bono, Robert Redford, Joe Montana, Julia Roberts

Likely professions: Journalist, Intelligence Agent, Venture Capitalist
