I thought this one was pretty funny. I’m the kind of guy that likes to cut-up just as much as the next guy. And while this made me laugh, it also made me think about how seriously we take our own actions.

What do you think about joking around, having fun, and not taking things to seriously? Is there a line that we need to draw and be accountable to?

Yeah, there are lines. The lines may move a bit depending on whose company I am enjoying, but there are definitely lines.

  it’s funny how our lines (for behavior/morals) shift so easily depending on who we’re with…

    Isn’t it? I don’t think my lines move very far based on context, but I know they move a bit.

      i don’t think my behavior changes a GREAT deal either, but i do act differently when i’m around my brother-in-law versus my good friend who is a pastor. this is all making me think a lot more about integrity…
