The Best part of Wednesdays

I found the Big Rab Show through the guys over at the Chanter Rant. I’ve been faithfully listening since 2018. The topics are relevant, varied, and interesting.

Integrity, Ethics, and Grace

Integrity means everything to me. Nothing in life is worth trading integrity for. It’s genuinely our most valuable asset. I will always do everything in my power to live my life with the integrity described in the poem below because living a life worthy of being described like THAT is what AWESOME looks like to me — and that is how I rate Big Rab and his show!

She had integrityIn her bones and Was clothed In grace.She was beautiful;Not only in howShe looked,But in who she was.
