A story in our local newspaper reported that a $1.73 billion highway and mass transit project in Denver, Colorado, was nearing completion on schedule and within the budget. But the story wasn’t on the front page. In fact, it was tucked into a sidebar of brief summaries in small type on page 3 of the local news section. If the project had been plagued by fraud, delays, and cost overruns, no doubt it would have been headline news.
I’ve decided that “Don’t Make News” might be a good motto in life. If we lie, cheat, and steal, that’s news. If we live honestly and morally, we can have an unnoticed yet effective spiritual influence on people around us.
