Reap what you sow

 We all need to be accountable, for our actions. Telling an outright lie, especially when that lie will get another person in trouble, it is simply wrong on many levels. 

I say this, because recently a very good friend, relayed a story about how she had helped a man, only to have that man, completely misrepresent their encounter to her boss, while making her look like she didn't know how to do her job correctly. Mind you, there was a witness, who could prove he wasn't telling the truth. 

Naturally, my friend was very upset, she then had the chance to confront the man. She acted professional, a lot more than I could have been, and told him how she didn't appreciate his misrepresentation of their encounter. 

Are you kidding me?! Misrepresentation? Short of punching the guy in the nose. I would have called the guy a lier, along with a few other choice words, but I guess my people skills preclude me from working around the public. Besides, telling someone off using a machine, sounds rather comical. 

She confronted him with his lie. For that, I am extremely proud of her. Even if she was concerned that she spoke to him too harshly. 

That's why she is the amazing person she is. Always concerned with how the other person is feeling. That's why I have the attitude of, you reap what you sow. 

That, and I suppose I've grown to not care, the older I have gotten.

Face it, the guy was a bully. Thinking he was going to get his way, no matter who he had to step on to get it. The longer these kinds of people, get things their way, as a result of their behavior, the bolder they become. It takes deciding you're not going to be a victim, to put a stop to their ways. 

She said that he stammered and hawed, never really offering an explanation, as to why he lied. It probably was as simple, as he wanted things his way. 

The true sign of a coward,  unable to admit their wrong, even when confronted with their sin.

Cast of Characters

  We each surround ourselves with people by choice or by necessity, I'm no different. It's important that you learn who my players are, and that you figure out who your key players are along the way. Ask yourself, if you had a serious, life-changing accident, who’s the first person you could expect to be right by your side? Now I know this is where I'm going to lose a lot of you, but I don't care. The answer is Jesus! No, this isn't a religious BLOG, but when it comes to my faith, I make no apologies. Jesus is the first one I know I can count on. Now when we're talking earthbound souls, there is first my wife Jonell, she is an amazing woman and my true soul mate! When you are talking about supporting actors, you must ask yourself, if that person were playing BINGO and they are holding on one number, are they likely to stay and finish the game, or get right up and rush to be by your side when they hear that you are in need? You definitely want the latter...

In the beginning

Imagine if you will it's almost bedtime, and you start to think about all the things you need to get done tomorrow. Of course, there's work, tomorrow I need to be there at one. And then, the car is due for an oil change, if I leave early for work, I should be able to get it done in time and you still have to get registered with some other companies for AEP (Insurance Term), it's just around the corner. I'll have time to do that during my lunch break. Then you told your son you'd swing by his place to take a look at his jeep, it's making a strange noise. You can leave even earlier for work, that hopefully won't take too long. Sound familiar? Although the list of things to be done will be different, it's what each of us goes through almost every night. Planning a day so full that we don't leave ourselves much wiggle room. And when something goes wrong, we stress out. And when we stress out, we cause those around us to get stressed. Not a healthy way to...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

  Now comes the time that we celebrate one year of the Bedheadbob BLOG.  Well actually, the one year anniversary won't be the one year anniversary, it isn't until this Saturday, April 8th, so you still have time to get me that red Corvette I've always wanted.  On a serious note though, it is a special moment for me, as I celebrate not only the accomplishment of what I consider to be one of the crowning accomplishments of my life, but also the bond I feel with each of you, although we've never met, at least most of us.  Which brings me to the topic of this week's BLOG... YOU! For the past several weeks, I have dedicated a BLOG post the some very special people in my life. All of them women, but that could just be a coincidence; ). This week is no exception. I am continuing by saluting the readers of this BLOG, who make this all worth while. No matter where you are along your own personal journey, you should know what a big part my journey you have become, and I hope ...
