Several years ago I read a Bill Hybels book entitled Who You Are When No One's Looking, the theme of which is, choosing character over compromise. That book came to mind as I sat in the court room this evening, waiting for my name to be called. It may seem like a minor thing to lie my way out a traffic ticket, cheat a little on an exam, keep a wad of found money, etc. "Who would know," one might ask. But God sees and knows everything we think, say or do. So who am I kidding when I think no one is watching or no one will notice?
I have found a Christ-centered, authentic, personal relationship with the living, triune God that grows deeper every day. My greatest desire in this life is to continue, steadfast, on this journey toward the heart of God and to lead others in this same path
