“I read with keen interest the words of a bumper sticker readily visible on the highly polished chrome bumper of a car which was weaving in and out of the traffic stream. The words were these: "Honk if you love Jesus." No one honked. Perhaps each was disturbed by the thoughtless and rude actions of the offending driver. Then, again, would honking be an appropriate manner in which to show one's love for the Son of God, the Savior of the world, the Redeemer of all mankind? Such was not the pattern provided by Jesus of Nazareth.” IfsWorldShowsActionJesusInterestMankindCarSonPatternsStreamsVisibleAppropriateDriversSaviorTrafficRudeDisturbedPolishedRedeemerRudenessJesus LoveWeavingBumperStickerOffendingBumper StickerNazarethChromeHonking Author:Thomas S.

“The teacher not only shapes the expectations and ambitions of her pupils, but she also influences their attitudes toward their future and themselves. If she is unskilled, she leaves scars on the lives of youth, cuts deeply into their self-esteem, and distorts their image of themselves as human beings. But if she loves her students and has high expectations of them, their self-confidence will grow, their capabilities will develop, and their future will be assured.” IfsHumansSelfGrowsHuman BeingsAttitudeTeacherCuttingInfluenceTeachingSelf EsteemYouthStudentsShapesAmbitionExpectationsSelf ConfidenceEsteemScarCapabilityAssuredPupilsHigh Expectations Author:Thomas S.
