Integrity. Defined by The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary as a strict adherence to a code of incorruptible values, the honesty of which is completely undivided.
When it comes to people, it's very difficult to expect that kind of adherence to a code of incorruptibility of values. We are, after all, human and subject to weakness. That doesn't excuse a lack of integrity, it simply give a reason why a person's character may be lacking.
However, when it comes to business, integrity becomes so much more important. A business must always run with the highest degree of integrity. When a word is given, regardless of the cost, that word must be followed through. Integrity should be the mainstay of any business, if not, the business will surely begin to suffer. Integrity begins at the top and flows all the way to the bottom, whatever that may be. The integrity of the staff will only be a reflection of the integrity of the leadership.
It's interesting, how comparisons can be made across so many different venues: politics, business, relationships, and even employment. Character of a business is a direct reflection of the character of the people employed. If the business doesn't follow through with a sound adherence to a code of values (INTEGRITY), it certainly cannot expect employees to have a better adherence to a code of values (INTEGRITY). It's the trickle down method, and it works.

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
I received this in an email earlier this evening. As Christians we need to be more aware than ever before what the consequences of this election will mean if the wrong candidate is put in the White House.
Please, take a moment and read this, and feel free to copy and paste and this post and email it on. Thank you.
“Received this from some friends...not only is it biblical, it is something we all can do.
No curse if you don't pass it on; no promised blessings if you do; just a suggestion.”
ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT.... 9:00 PM Eastern Time.
“Received from a friend and it is true, this is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees.
Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime!
2 Chronicles 7:14 -- “If my people, which are called by My name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
“During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever!!!”
“If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States: our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the up-coming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.”
“If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.”
“Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.”
“Thank you. Please pass this on to anyone whom you think will want to join us.”

Would You Hire Me?
If I only had 143 days of experience:
Would you hire me to fix your car?
Would you hire me to run your company?
If I only had 143 days experience would you hire me to run the country?
Something America might want to think about.
Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days?
Not much.
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
143 days -This isn't taking into account the days he has missed.
In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever.
At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.
Think about IT!!!
