As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 I was seventeen, and a young Christian when the church I was attending had a messy split.

I’ve never been an adventure seeker. I don’t ride rollercoasters, nor am I interested in bungee jumping, parasailing, rock climbing, skydiving, or other risky sports or activities.
