Today's Devotion: Ephesians 4:25 (New International Version)
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

If we are to live in harmony, we are to live in truth. This passage is very important to our everyday living and working.

Today's Comments: Last night, I returned from Denver after spending a week at the National Veterans Training Institute in a class called Promoting Partnerships. The truth is that I did not enjoy the class very much. Some of the advice given by the one of the facilitators there was wrong. She didn't know her subject very well, and I challenged her. That didn't make me too popular with either her or the class, and during the latter part of the week, I felt somewhat left out. My question is, should I have just kept my mouth shut and accepted the mediocrity?

I am also beginning to understand another truth. It may be time to retire and accelerate my studies for Deacon. I have been feeling this way for quite a while, since I returned to the Field Office from my staff assignment. However, I think that this class clinched it. The truth is that I can no longer be excited about my EDD assignments.
