Joe
grew up in a small town, then moved away to attend
college and law school. He decided to come back because
he could be a big man in this small town. He really wanted
to impress everyone, so he returned and opened his new
law office. The
first day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk. He
decided to make a big impression on this new client when
he arrived. As the man came to the door, Joe picked up the
phone. He motioned the man in while he was talking. "No.
Absolutely not! You tell those clowns in L.A. that I
won't settle this case for less than one million. Yes. The
Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll
be handling the primary argument and the other members
of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the D.A. that
I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details." This
sort of thing went on for almost five minutes. All the
while the man sat patiently as Joe rattled instructions.
Finally, Joe put down the phone and turned to the man. "I'm
sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I'm very busy. What
can I do for you?" The
man replied, "I'm from the phone company. I came to
hook up your phone."
Application:
Don't pretend to be something that you are not. It
won't take
long to be exposed. Be honest and be yourself. Besides,
God isn't fooled even for a minute.
