Character

Character is the bedrock of success, for it shapes our actions, earns us respect, and inspires others to greatness. (George Washington)

Considered the “Father of our Nation,” George Washington gave sage military and political advice as an Army General and our first president. Today, on the anniversary of his birthday we acknowledge his wisdom in the area of social and personal behavior. By personal example and public service, he demonstrated what a true gentleman and loyal citizen should be.

May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. (Philippians 1:11)
