Being an example

In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity...
-Titus 2:7


I want to be a good example to those around me....that doesn't always happen though. For example, the other day we were driving down our street. We saw this guy standing by his garage. He, for no reason, gave us a dirty look as we were getting ready to turn. I looked at Tim and said, "what a jerk". I have a habit of calling people idiots or jerks when I don't like how they are acting. Well, in short, I need to watch my mouth. I'm being an example to my 19 month old daughter, and I don't want her calling people idiots or jerks. This verse is a good reminder for me to watch what I say no matter who I'm around.
