WEEK 5

If you are not sure, never test the depth of the water with both feet!

WEEK 17

There is nothing more important that you can do each day than putting a smile on someone's face. Share your light today and make others happy.

WEEK 27

Live your life in such a way that those who know you but don't know God will come to know God because they know you!

WEEK 28

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?
