RIGHTEOUS: WHO SAYS THERE ARE NO ...

... honest people left in this world. Truth be told, I'm probably one of those who has said there are none! But I'd be wrong ...

A Southern California cab driver's simple act of honesty has turned to gold. Two weeks ago, the driver tracked down a jeweler and returned to him the $350,000 worth of diamonds he left in the back seat of the taxi.

As a way of saying "thank you," the jeweler sent the cabbie a ten-thousand dollar check and a diamond bracelet. But the honest cabbie was just as impressed with the man's thank-you note. The jeweler wrote that the cab driver had "changed his life."

The driver is putting the money in a bank account to help pay for his children's schooling. And he's giving the bracelet to his wife, who assured him he did the right thing in returning the diamonds.

If anyone wants to know the meaning of Paul's admonition to "consider the interests of others as more important than your own," this is it!
