  • Always Honest Abe

    There is a story, about a younger Abraham Lincoln, which shows why the name honest Abe stuck to him. He took a job as Postmaster, it is said, when he was in his twenties, in New Salem, Illinois. At times when the people who had mail,did not come, to pick up their mail, he would deliver it himself, carrying the mail in his hat. When he left the job, and moved to Springfield, Illinois, he took the funds paid to him, by customers for postage and such, with him. When the official came to pick up the money from him, one of his friends thought, that he might not have the money, because Abe had been under a financial strain. After opening his door for the official, who had come for the money, Mr. Lincoln went off to find an old trunk, and after rummaging through the trunk, he found an old sock, and in that sock was the money, in the exact same coinage, as he had initially received it. He was indeed honest Abe, as he has been portrayed, for so long.

  • Trust!

    Trusting someone means just that, you trust them.
    You take them at their word, when they tell you something.
    Trusting that it is the truth.
    You put your faith in them, that they will be true to their word.
    Now, if they betray that trust, then the deal ends.
    Or does it?
    Not always, I believe in second chances, why not go through it again?
    One more try, we'll put that word trust, into play.
    Make yourself vulnerable again.
    It's a wonderful thing, trust.
    As long, as it is not abused, and you are not misused.
    Second chance is operating. We are trusting you, one more time.
    One more time, for you to show, that you are worthy of that trust. One time.
    It's your turn, and I will certainly withhold judgment,
    Because you see, I have been given that, one more time as well.
    So here we go, let's make this work, one more time.
