Five lessons to learn from the Petraeus mess


1.       You cannot hide your actions or character forever:
Someone will see, someone will notice someone will tell – live like everything is public and there will be no shock when the private is revealed. (Take a look at Number 32:23)

2.       Don’t be too close to someone other than your spouse:
“embedded”  “access” “confidant”  and “mentor” can be danger signs in a cross-gender relationship.

3.       Betrayal of trust will always hurts the innocent
Spouse, children, parents, co-workers, friends…

4.       There is no place to go to get your reputation back
What is done can be forgiven but what is done is done.

5.       Temptation always pays with counterfeit dollars
No matter how right it seems, the results of wrong are always greater.
