Reflections: The best Valentine ever!

What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? Is it a diamond, a rainbow, mountains or art? One of my favorite sites is a sparkling lake with snow capped mountains behind it.

Ready, set, grow Part 3

Let’s continue our discussion on maturity from the book of James in the Bible. There are five chapters in James, and each chapter teaches us a mark of maturity. In chapter one the mark of maturity is “How do I react to problems?” In chapter two, “How do I treat other people?” In chapter three, “Do I control what I say?” The fourth characteristic, from chapter 4, is that a mature person is a peacemaker in the midst of trouble. When there is trouble and conflict: Do I like to argue? Do I like to gossip? Do I like to “get in on the news” on the latest happenings of ...
