"For us to hate those who are in error, or talk of them with contempt or wish them ill, or do them wrong, is not according to the Spirit of Christ. You cannot cast out Satan by Satan, nor correct error by violence, nor overcome hate by hate. The conquering weapon of the Christian is love."

- Charles Spurgeon

One of my friends told me about a powerful lesson in her daughter's high school class recently. They're learning about the Salem Witch Trials, and their teacher told them they were going to play a game.

"I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."

"I never want my kids to mess up and think 'Dad's gonna kill me!' I want their first thought to be 'I need to call my Dad.'"

May you know the warmth of God’s loving embrace
May you know the joy of God’s ever-presence
May you know the peace of God’s gentle whisper
May you know the strength of God’s Spirit within you
this day and always in your life.
