It’s a Matter of Perspective
When my grandchildren, Payton and Alexia, were in Speech and Debate in high school, I judged other students at their regional, state and national competitions. My two grands became excellent debaters and speech presenters. Today, they are both trainers in high levels of business and ministry. Moms and Dads, I can’t begin to encourage you…
