Stand firm, be unflappable,
your work is not in vain


1 Corinthians 15:58

Citizenship, Sacrifice, and Service

"If a just society requires a strong sense of community, it must find a way to cultivate in citizens a concern for the whole, a dedication to the common good, It can't be indifferent to the attitudes and dispositions, the "habits of the heart," that citizens bring to public life. It must find a way to lean against purely privatized notions of the good life, and cultivate civic virtue."
~ Harvard Prof. Michael J. Sandel


In other words, we're all in this together,
so do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Make someone smile

In 10 years people won't remember the car you drove 
or how much money you made......
but a person will always remember how you made them feel.
