Integrity

2603) Integrity is valuable. I define it as choosing to do the right thing when no one else is watching. What makes it take on more value in my eyes is these right choices are not as common these days. Proverbs 10:9 tells us that someone walking in integrity walks securely. (ESV) Making the choice

Self-Control: Extinct?

2594) One of the most difficult skills I tried to help my young scholars develop was self-control. I think it’s difficult for several reasons, and one of them is that many believe it’s just an instinct. Something happens, and then, instinct kicks in, and they act or don’t., believing there’s no mindful control available. As

A Supermodel

Where is the Love

2494) It’s always interesting to me to observe some of my young scholars fall in love. They usually swing all the way toward bliss, feeling as if they’re walking on air, and then, almost as quickly, swing the opposite way in their feelings. As adults, we learn, hopefully, that yes, love carries strong feelings, but

Winners and Losers

2301) Every once-in-a-while, I’ll have some sort of review game with my young scholars. I am amazed from class to class at the amount of competition I see. There are some classes, the competition is so high; it takes the fun out of the game and I’ve closed the game down. Why? Because when there
