Assumptions

I put my granddaughter on a plane the other day in Tucson for her trip home to Oregon, and as we walked through the terminal toward the gate, we passed this display. We both hoped that these folks would be on a different flight. Although, you never know. They may be the nicest Javalina, Jackrabbit and Rat around. We made an assumption and we all know that quick assumptions can be very wrong.

My guess is that sometime today you and I are going to make decisions based on facts or on feelings or on ill-founded assumptions. There’s enough bad information floating through the air these days…political season, you know…so let’s don’t add to it. As the Book says: let your yes be yes and your no be no. Speak truth. Avoid assumptions. And everything you do, do it in love for the benefit of the other person (or Jackrabbit) and to honor Christ. Press on.
