DO IT GOD’S WAY Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. – Romans 13:12 Tom was a medical representative for a pharmaceutical company. In his province, it was standard procedure that med reps drank with doctors and gave them women. Being the rookie in the job, he was ashamed to decline, even if his conscience was telling him it was wrong. So he went along and would drink only three bottles at the most. And while his companions would take their bar girl to a motel, he’d just chat with his the entire evening. But one day, he asked himself, “Am I more concerned about losing my face over losing my soul?” So he went to his boss and said, “Sir, I’ve decided I won’t be drinking and offering women to my clients anymore.” His boss was shocked. He asked, “Are you crazy? Why?” Tom said, “I’m a renewed Catholic. I can’t go against my faith.” The boss told him sternly, “Mark my words, you’ll lose your job.” Tom said, “Watch how God will work.” The next day, Tom gave Kerygma magazines to the doctors. Then he gave them Didache and then Companion. He also worked doubly hard. In three months, Tom became the top-selling, top-performing med rep in the entire region. It takes courage to go against the tide and stand up for what you believe in. But in the end, God will reward you a thousand-fold. - Bo Sanchez (bosanchez@kerygmafamily) Reflection: Are you doing something against your faith? Pray for the courage to stop now. Grant me the grace, Lord, to follow You at all costs.
