It wasn’t until Tuesday’s Bible study, as we were studying second Timothy, and we came across the word “profligate” in the third chapter, verse 2 thru 4. Not being familiar with that word, I looked it up and the definition read, “Profligate, as a noun or as an adjective, implies recklessly wasting your money on extravagant luxury. Profligate behavior is a lot of fun, but you’ll regret it later – when you get the change card bill. Any time someone behaves in a reckless, amoral, or wasteful way, they are engaging in profligate behavior.”

 

Suddenly a light bulb came on, that brought everything into focus for me. By striving for excellence in our behavior, we will avoid profligate behavior. That applies to our person actions, and also to our legislative actions, where we represent others. I would ask our City, State and National leaders to please consider the impact of their decisions on their constituents, before approving another financial document, for the agency that they represent.
