Honesty

I wanted to share part of the editorial about HONESTY from the Church News this week.

One of the virtues that honesty reverberates with is a most significant aspect of mortality: wise use of time. Promptness to repent is near kin to true honesty. While belated confessions are always welcomed, it must be agreed that besides harboring a sin in the silent chambers of the soul, one has also held honesty hostage in those inner precincts.
Bad choices are the wellspring of dishonesty. Using time improperly, such as failing to study, not doing an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, spending money on impulse and in deficit, being unwilling to work, coveting others' property, are examples of bad choices with consequences that foster dishonesty. Once dishonesty is indulged, temptations grow to fabricate additional tangled webs in support.
Some wish to hide behind what they say are shades of gray. But as one person aptly noted, even the lightest gray is merely white with black dots on it.
