Never Quitting
“Never give up, never give in.” This could have been the motto of Paul’s life. Quit simply wasn’t in the man’s vocabulary. We ought to erase it from ours as well. And we can if we’ll hear and heed Paul’s last words to his friend, Timothy.

Kids watch parents and learn by their example. Parenting is an awesome responsibility and a tremendous privilege.

Sustaining Enthusiasm
