On a flight last year going somewhere, who knows where, in the Southwest Airlines flight seat back was an issue of their magazine and on the cover was a young man wearing \u00a0T-shirt that said “Because I said I would”. \u00a0Watch the video at the link below and I will continue the story!<\/p>\n

Today I wear the wrist band that has the same quote, I even have a t-shirt with this quote. \u00a0What Alex Sheen started is a wonderful non-profit that encourages people to do what we should all do, display integirty! \u00a0Alex tells a wonderful story about his deceased father and how he proposed to honor his father by giving to others the one things his father gave to him, keeping his word.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now just think for a few minutes how much better our world would be if we only kept our word. It would be so much better if we didn’t make promises at all if we were not going to stand behind them. \u00a0Make your word your bond, make it something worth giving. \u00a0My faith teaches me that that was how Jesus was, He never promised anything He did not fulfill!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I carry the Promise cards and use them, I wouldn’t be much of a friend if I didn’t recommend that you give it a try. \u00a0Not for me, but for the Man that has never broken a promise!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
