What the world says... Am I to listen? I'm gonna try and confront the wordly philosophies with what the Word of God says and hopefully learn something out of my examinations.
The beloved "8th" core value of the SAF. I came in close on being charged a couple days ago (you could ask me why if ya see me around. Cant post it online lol.). I was entirely at fault and that day was the day i understood what does "ball shrink" means when i had to explain my actions and stuff. But phew, i was pardoned because i adtmitted my mistakes and guess that's the way to go; when caught just own up and dont try to pin the fault on anyone else.
Hahaha come to think of it, it's kinda funny now, i was expecting to be demoted, charged and pulled out of the training but of course none of that happened.
So i was caught. I guess i could've gotten off with it if i lied at some point but meh, rather be a man and suck it up than lie like a kid. At least i've learnt a lesson here, it is to try and do nothing wrong AT ALL rather than trying to elude being busted.
Now this little episode reminded me of what a friend (that's you James, if you're reading. :]) shared during a dinner. It's about Daniel and the integrity he has. Here's the verse: "Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him." Daniel 6:4
Aha there you go, integrity 101, doing the right thing, every single moment, even when nobody's looking. So you won't ever need to worry about getting caught or accused or whatsoever because "He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out." Proverbs 10:9
