What is Integrity?"It is staying true to what you believe in your heart, regardless of outside circumstances. You manifest what you believe to be true--in those outside circumstances. It is honesty. It's all about SACRIFICE. In my personal experience, anyway, the truth costs. Always, it is a sacrifice of some advantage you would otherwise seem to have. Integrity is not being bought off by the devil! Integrity is begin willing to pay the price." ---Dr. David Yeagley
"Integrity means doing the same thing whether people are with you or whether you are alone." - Ed Anderson
"Are you a person of integrity? Are you honest, reliable and trustworthy? Because that is what having high integrity means. A person of integrity is honest. Let's say one day, you find one hundred dollars in your school. Would you keep it, or would you hand it to the teacher? He does not lie to other and is reliable, you can always depend on him. He is also trustworthy, you are able to put your trust on him. It is not easily to have all of this qualities and more. Who says having a high integrity is easy?" -Siu Kai Character Training
"Wisdom is knowing the right thing to do, INTEGRITY is doing it." -Greg Grimaud
"If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters." ~Alan Simpson
"You can out-distance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you." ~Rwandan Proverb
"I never did, or countenanced, in public life, a single act inconsistent with the strictest good faith; having never believed there was one code of morality for a public, and another for a private man." ~Thomas Jefferson, 1809

Edmond Sun Article Last week I was interviewed by Trey Bowden of the Edmond Sun. This is not the entire article, it is the section I was in...
"...Another important area of the home is the tile and grout. This area is more often overlooked than it is addressed by sellers. "It's just plain bad to go into a house and immediately be knocked out by a mildew odor coming from the bathroom," said Brad Womack, owner of Integrity Tile Services (www.gotdirtygrout.net). "Grout that has molded or mildewed in and around the tub and shower areas is usually the culprit for mildew odor."Besides replacing broken, chipped or missing tiles anywhere - including kitchen counter and backsplash areas - all tile and grout should be thoroughly cleaned in order to eliminate stains and odors and to make the home look its best. "If you choose to clean/seal the tile and grout yourself, make sure that the surface to be sealed is very clean; you don't want to trap any dirt under the sealer," Womack said. There are a number of products on the market that effectively seal grout. But if you don't have the time or energy to do the job yourself, Womack suggests calling a professional who has the knowledge, skill and equipment to do the job quickly and effectively."
