Great Clips


I was in Great Clips yesterday morning getting a haircut and Tiffany said that she’d better be careful what she said, or she might become the topic of a devotional on facebook.  Summer was at the register and agreed.  She said that she was going to be careful too.  So, I won’t use their names today.  Wait a minute, I just did!  Hey, when someone mentions your name, whether in passing or in a post, what comes to mind?  When someone says “Gerald” what word picture comes to your mind?  That’s called a reputation.  And a reputation is a tricky thing.  It takes years and years to build up a reputation, but only a moment of indiscretion to tear down a reputation.  Solomon said in Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.”  A good name is very valuable.  So, we should be like Tiffany and Summer.  Be careful what we say and do, or we may be the subject of a post on facebook.  And I’d hate that, wouldn’t you?  Well, maybe it’s not all that bad.
