I am glad you liked the post. There is another post that is also a good read that my daughter wrote. It is at http://www.threadbaresoldier.com/?p=1140.

She also has a pocket full of red tokens which is a good barometer of her heart as it is of yours. Tender.

I am an introverted person (though some may not think so) and therefore I must take time to select my interactions as I have a limited span of time that I can be among crowds before I get nervous and don’t have any tokens to give out.

Take a look at what an introvert is (we are not to look down upon being an introvert) and see if you recognize anything…:-)

This blog touched me. I’ve professed myself a time or two, to dislike idle chit-chat. I want to know what lights you up. (You being the person with whom I engage in a conversation) I want to hear your hopes your dreams, your thoughts on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. But I only wish to engage with a genuine, sincere person. I find it difficult to trust sometimes people who seem to be laughing at me. They ask questions for the simple means to make fun of or gossip about me. When I ask questions back, they deflect, having nothing personal to share. It is in these interactions I am learning to identify the ‘idle chatters’ from the ones who have something wonderful to contribute.
Thank you for this blog. You gave me some food for thought and brought to the top of my mind something I have been pondering for some time.
RED TOKEN PLEASE =)

Comment on Integrity… by Steve

I’m sorry to hear that you allow the pressure of society to influence you so……that must suck.

Complete control of things, including integrity, usually begins with practice, practice, and then more practice. It’s been proven that the more we practice something the more adept we become at that thing, which leads to an unconscious ability to simply “be” or simply “do.” Like learning to play an instrument – we struggle at first, yet once we “master” it we never forget.

I feel the pressure of society daily in my decision making. Very little of my daily interactions are made in a vacuum. I agree integrity is an internal decision process and I also believe that we are influenced in that process by a multitude of external things such as friends and the common place acceptance of lowered morals.

I don’t think I have ever had “complete” control over anything but I do agree each action involving integrity is a decision we make whether we do it consciously or sub-consciously.

Also I agree that ignoring the implications of our actions has become a disease of our current life style.

And I have no idea what a good Christian is. Most often I use in a facetious manner to poke some fun. I have been present in many different churches and “good” can mean a lot of different things. If I had to describe a good Christian I would say it involves someone who is pursuing God and taking time to care for others. While I fail this description sometimes my heart is running full tilt after these two things.

How does society pressure you about anything much less your integrity. Integrity is usually something “internal,” which we all have complete control of if we are aware of it. Today, most people are not aware of it, or just choose to ignore the implications of a lack of it, and instead act as if “no-one” will ever know what I’ve just done, therefore its, and I, am “OK.”

I’m curious – what exactly is a “good” Christian?

Well… I am not sure what to say. I am sure it was a girl who told you that. I just want to say it is not masculine to wear womens clothes…
