While in public accounting, I was assigned to perform multiple government audits in Georgia. On one occasion, a new accountant from New Jersey, Mike, was assigned to my team.

On our final day, we had much to accomplish before catching our flights home. Then, the electrical power went out throughout the city.

I decided to drive to the next town to make copies, and Mike was instructed to conduct our final staff interview.

When I returned, Mike was sound asleep on top of the board room table. We were unable to finish the job on time! Mike was later fired.

Proverbs 25:19 says, “Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.”

When possible, select only trustworthy people for important jobs.
