• Day Five: Foreign Language Requirement

  Some people love to learn languages, but for most of us it’s an effort. We are content in our native language and culture. However, if we want to be a blessing to others, we need to get beyond our comfort zone.

• Day Four: Love Waits

  Almost everyone has heard the story of Noah’s ark. Perhaps in Sunday school you colored the stereotypical cartoon of the ark with two happy giraffes poking their heads out of the roof. However, I doubt many of us have seen a cartoon of all the people drowning. 

• Day Three: A Promised Redemption

  First responders demonstrate their heroism by putting their lives on the line in emergency situations in order to rescue those in danger. Police, firefighters, paramedics or just good citizens rush in when others rush out.
