Mission Moment Fernando and Teresa McCumber visited our class at the invitation of Laura Lytle a couple weeks back. I remember Laura had asked Fernando what his mission in life was and he said it was sowing seeds. I know I’m paraphrasing but he said his goal is that when he stands before Christ, he [...]

Mission Moment Last week Heather Hummel spoke about a girl attending the Columbia County Alternative school. The girl had gotten herself in trouble by acting inappropriately. Heather stood her in front of a mirror and asked her what she saw. It was pitiful to hear how low her self esteem is. Her mother is a [...]

Mission Moment I ran across a fictitious story that I found quite humorous because it makes a very valid point.
