2 Corinthians 8:21 (NIV) For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men.
"Reputation is what people think of you. Character is what you are regardless of what people think of you. People with character sometimes are misunderstood, misquoted, maligned. I've had that experience many times. It's awful. But integrity always wins out. And deception and hypocrisy are always found out." --Chuck Swindoll
