Today’s Thought “Medieval Practices” G. Ward

“Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.” Proverbs 19:1

My brother was a masterful entrepreneur as a boy. He, along with another young man (K. Matthews) would compete for jobs within our neighborhood. Often this would lead to great clash between the two of them in that many times varied adult neighbors would be both desperately needing services (i.e. grass cutting or snow shoveling), along with succumbing to imposed price wars between these two. An adult’s understanding when dealing with youth shouldn’t guard one’s pocketbook over demonstrating commitment in exemplary leadership. Moreover, blatant disregard over potential rift must not become the ideology of the impressionable generation to follow. These two gentlemen are now very accomplished theologians; but that’s due largely to the prayers and character building by parents and other concerned neighbors. Their spiritual metamorphosis upon confession of Jesus as Lord should never forget that other youth await an example (cf. Mt.5:16).

Happy Thursday!
