5th Maxim

I will be obedient, faithful and steadfast in my relationships with God, my family and my church.

I will lead myself well first, my family second, my church third, and finally everyone else last.

I will be responsible for my actions and responsible to those that I lead. The Buck stops here.

I will be humble, kind and a gentleman of peace.

I will treat everyone with respect, look them in the eye and give firm handshake and smile.

I will always give the benefit of the doubt and a second chances.

I will never assume and always forgive.

I will speak and live truth.

I will endeavor to be clear in my speech and actions.

I will be quick with public praise and private criticism.
