We all face choices each day and compromise is the small little steps that lead to a gradual erosion of our faith and integrity. I currently teach young kids through sports and activities how to make good choices, building strong muscles of integrity through regular testing in game situations, with reinforcement for good choices and consequences for their bad choices.

Proverbs Ch.19 vs. 1 "Better is the poor that walks in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool". God help us to live each day as he would have us to live it, and shine as beacons to our families, friends, colleagues and loved ones today and the next...
