I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Character

Trustworthy Trustworthy means people believe in us. Honesty in communications requires a good-faith intent to convey the truth as best we know it and to avoid communicating in a way likely to mislead or deceive. In relationships involving legitimate expectations of trust along with forthrightness and frankness. Ensure to volunteer information that another person needs to know. Integrity Integrity means there are no divisions in a person's life, no difference in the way he/she makes decisions from situation to situation, no difference in the way he/she acts at work and at home, in public and alone. In simple terms, a person who act a phony or behaves unlike self do not have integrity in the person. Phony people who are not honest often leave impressions that are untrue or misleading. My dictionary defines integrity as 'consistency and sincerity, with no deception or pretense'. Integrity's overriding quality is wholeness. There is no discrepancy between what a person of integrity appears to be on the outside and what he is on the inside. That's what integrity is. Consistency, the outside and inside being the same; therefore sincerity and transparency. That's what integrity means. It is the wholeness of self; therefore faithfulness and reliability and consistency are words that are related to integrity. Reliability When we make promises or other commitments that create a legitimate basis for another person to rely upon us to perform certain tasks, we undertake moral duties that go beyond legal obligations. The ethical dimension of promise-keeping imposes the responsibility of making all reasonable efforts to fulfill our commitments. Loyalty Loyalty is a special moral responsibility to promote and protect the interests of people, organizations or affiliations. In families, people expect the highest degree of loyalty because it requires us to keep family secrets or information learned in confidence. Respect We are morally obligated to treat everyone with respect, regardless of who they are and what they have done. This reflects notions such as civility, courtesy, dignity, tolerance and acceptance.
