Isaiah 29; Proverbs 11:1-11
Tuesday's Bible Reading: Isaiah 29; Proverbs 11:1-11
Details are important. If you don't believe it, ask election officials in Ottawa County, Michigan. One tiny error is costing them thousands of dollars and gaining them national notoriety. Today the story showed up on the websites of Forbes and ABC News. The county is spending $40,000 to reprint 170,000 ballots even though only one letter was missing from one word in a 135-word ballot proposal. Is it really worth spending so much of taxpayer money to correct something so insignificant? The answer is "yes" when the missing letter is "l" and the word it's missing from is public.
