Day 10: Long Distance, ew
Today’s tip is simple: Avoid making personal long distance calls that are billed to the church.
I’ve been reading a cool little book called “Deadly Viper Character Assassins.” It was given to us at the Catalyst Conference a few months ago. The whole premise of the book is protecting our character and integrity from the “assassins” out there who are trying to destroy it. One of the “assassins” in the book is The Assassin of Zi Qi Qi Ren (self-deception). One of the things they talk about is how we can begin to justify using office equipment for personal reasons. We may intend to pay the church back for copies or long distance or postage and just forget. We meant to bring back the equipment we borrowed 6 months ago, but it’s still in our living room. Before long, we’ve got this $400 debt that we’ve incurred. Now, I’m no Einstein, but I know that stuff can haunt you. While no one else is keeping tabs, you are.
