Proverbs 27:17 tells us, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." The simple explanation of this passage is that we naturally affect and influence each other. Well, I just got back from three days at Unity Village, surrounded by abut 80 of my colleagues. Those who know me well said that they could immediately tell that my Southern accent is more noticeable. Evidentially you are influencing me!! That realization led me to think about the possibility that my fairly sizzling with zeal and enthusiasm or my springing forth in faith or my doing what is mine to do has influenced you as well. If so, then what a great example of a win-win situation. I am so very proud and pleased to be serving here with you.
