Character

I once heard a visiting preacher tell a story about leaving a meeting in some town and while at the airport he needed to call home to let his wife know when to expect him. After making the call he hung up the pay phone he had used and the quarter came back. He picked up the phone and dialed the operator and told her that the quarter had returned. The operator said she knew. She said that she had recognized his voice when she helped him make his call. She had been in the meeting the night before when he preached on character. She had made the phone give the quarter back because she wanted to see if he practiced what he preached.

I have been around people all of my life that were made from the same stock. Their word is their bond and you can take what they say to the bank. Now we will be watching two men vie to become the next President of the United States. If not for you, for me, character will be a big deal. I don't expect either to be perfect or believe exactly as I do, but I am looking for that word or action or the little undetectable (by some) element that will say this is a man of character.

There is a stark difference between the two men. You will have to pay close attention to find who is of the greatest character because the media will build one up. They won't disclose all of the important little differences that will help you choose one over the other. Don't choose based on endorsements or hoopla. Listen carefully and choose wisely, the future of our nation rest upon your choice.
