Dear Pastor Lily.
Can a Christian date a non-christian? I'm a 3rd-year university student from Iowa and I'm meeting so many interesting people. Recently I met a young man who is clever, charming and I've developed a bit of a crush on him. Here's the thing, he is an atheist. I discovered this after we had been chatting in the library for a few hours about life, the university, and everything. We share so many of the same values and ideas, except that I firmly believe that God created the Heavens and Earth, and he believes in the big bang theory etc. I've invited him to come to church with me and see for himself, I'm hoping that if I can get him there, God will reveal himself and I won't have to convince him. But he declined the offer.
What should I do? I'm praying that God will change his heart, but I'm not seeing any sign of change yet. I'll be finished university soon and I know deep in my heart that I want a Godly marriage and family. But it's not like I'm getting married tomorrow. So there's still time for God to work in this situation, right?
I really appreciate your advice. You always seem to have a word of wisdom and your insights make me laugh. I especially liked the advice you gave to the virgin on her honeymoon. For all of us out there that are saving ourselves for marriage, that was a helpful piece of encouragement to read.
Much Love,
Hi Danielle.
Thank you for asking this question, it's an issue that many women struggle with. I cover the question, should a Christian date a non-Christian, as well as other crucial topics in my course Ready For The One, which teaches women how to attract a man worth marrying.
Can a Christian date a non-Christian?
First, let's begin by reviewing the purpose of dating;
When dating, you are entering into a relationship with the purpose and intention of moving towards marriage.
This is a different view of dating than what you get in the world.
Dating in the world involves collecting phone numbers and trying people out via coffee, ice cream, and steak.
A lot of people go on dates all the time without moving any closer to a committed relationship. And they are often frustrated and confused as to why their prospective partners are not responding.
The Bible tells us;
"Above all else guard your heart!" – Proverbs 4:23
Because "Everything you do flows from it."
Therefore it's a really bad idea to go around investing your heart, emotions, time and energy into relationships that are not right for you. Like you said, you've been spending time with this guy and now you've got a crush on him. You've already begun to invest your heart into the relationship, and that's why you're looking for all kinds of ways to justify it. But you wisely sought some feedback and I'm so glad you did. One of the first things you have to ask yourself is; are you compatible?
Are You Compatible?
Before you begin dating anyone you should already have a pretty good idea of whether or not the two of you are compatible.
This means you will only be investing time and energy into relationships that at least have some potential to actually lead to marriage.
Therefore you're going to spend time getting to know the guy beforehand in none romantic situations. Where there is zero expectation of a kiss at the end.
This may include invitations to attend church together and or Bible study.
Or generally seeing each other in the setting in which you natural meet.
For example, if you were taking a cooking class and see a man who might interest you, make a point of learning as much as you can about him within that class.
Or, like in your case, you met and chat with him at the library, and you're getting to know one another. This is all well and good, but at this point in the relationship, you must guard your heart. If your end goal is a Godly marriage, that you need to determine whether or not you're compatible in 4 key areas.
4 Keys to Compatibility
- Physically – While looks aren't everything, we generally know what we are attracted to. I think my husband is hot. And there's nothing wrong with that. You must find your library friend attractive or you wouldn't have submitted your question.
- Emotionally – Are they able to control their emotions and share their thoughts and feelings with others in a way that is respectable? In your case, you might need to see him in a situation outside the library to get a better picture of his emotional maturity.
- Communication- Are they someone you can talk to? Do you like some of the same things? Are you intellectually compatible? Do you have a high level of respect for their thoughts and opinions and do you feel that they respect yours as well? Long chats in the library seem to verify that you're compatible here.
- Spiritually- This one is the MOST IMPORTANT for a Christian and Non Negotiable. As a Christian, you are called to put God first! It is essential that you share the same views and beliefs when it comes to who Jesus Christ is. You must both mutually agree that God is number 1. Library guy is clearly not compatible in this area.
It's not enough for someone you're dating to respect your beliefs, they must actually want to share them if you intend to have a Godly marriage.
As a Christian, we have been given a lot of work to do and if we get into marriage with a non-Christian we end up being Unequally Yoked.
The Bible clearly warns against this.
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" -2 Corinthians 6:14
I know that sounds harsh because to you he is a nice guy. But I think in your heart you already know that answer. can a Christian date a non-Christian and that relationship result in a Godly marriage? No, that's why you're trying to get him to come to church with you and you're praying for his heart to change.
But you're putting yourself into a tight corner. You've already started to develop feelings for him and you're trying to make him get saved for your benefit. While we should always be praying for the lost, I suspect your far more invested in this guys soul that the souls of the other young men in your university classes.
Choosing not to take this into serious consideration creates an excellent opportunity for idolatry to slip in.
Idolatry can easily occur in a relationship when you begin to put your feelings for, and relationship with someone, above your commitment to the Lord.
My Advice
At this point in time, I'd highly recommend that you back off of the idea of pursuing this relationship. Save yourself the heartache of having to make a difficult choice later down the road. If God is in this relationship, He will begin to move in this young man's life in ways that are beyond your control. You can be there as a friend to point the way to Jesus. Wait for strong evidence that he has given his life to Christ. Otherwise, you might he might start following you to church in hope of winning your favor, but not God's. Put this relationship on hold.
Now to my readers,
Have you dated a non-Christian? How did that go?

I mentioned Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now during April's poetry month because I've always felt that her lyrics bordered on the poetic. Mitchell's voice, both in the original version, and as she's aged, give the song added depth.
U.S. Elevator, a group comprised of singers Sarah Lee Guthrie (yes, that Guthrie -- daughter of Arlo; granddaughter of Woody!) and Johnny Irion, with the Rondo Brothers as production partners, have produced their own version of Joni Mitchell's - Both Sides Now:
It can be found on i-Tunes listed as Moons and Junes, a special split 7 inch that they've released containing Mitchell's - Both Sides Now and Jim Croce's - Spin, Spin, Spin.
You can listen to both songs here.
There's an energy and lightness to the remix of Both Sides Now. Guthrie's voice has an etherial quality that I really like. The harmony on Spin, Spin, Spin is lovely. Well done!

Easter Blonde Joke
A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car. The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is DEAD. The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry. A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong. "I feel terrible!" he exclaims. "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM." The blonde says, "Don't worry." She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents onto him. The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another ten feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again until he is out of sight. The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny?" The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label. It says.. "Hair Spray
Restores life to dead hair,
and adds permanent wave." H a p p y E a s t e r ! ! !

The devil made me post this…
A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, "Business trip or pleasure?" She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston ." He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs. Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?" "Lecturer," she responded. "I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." "Really?" he said. "And what kind of myths are there?" "Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck." Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name…" "Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba."

- President Donald Trump grew up in Queens, New York City.
- His family lived in a 23-room home in Jamaica Estates, a secluded, upper-middle-class community in Queens.
- I took a tour to see what the neighborhood was like, and it was immediately clear why Trump has called the area an "oasis."
- It was peaceful and secluded, filled with stately homes and quiet leafy streets.
President Donald Trump grew up in New York City, on the outskirts of Queens.
Jamaica Estates, where he lived until age 13, is an affluent community, filled with stately homes and wide, tree-lined streets.
"Different parts of Queens were rough; this was an oasis," Trump told the New York Times in 2015. He said Jamaica Estates "was safe — it was very family oriented."
I walked around the neighborhood and visited the two houses where the Trump family lived, and I immediately saw why he called it an oasis.
Here's what it was like.
President Donald Trump spent his childhood until age 13 in Jamaica Estates, a wealthy community in Queens on the outskirts of New York City, at least a 45 minute drive from Midtown Manhattan.
Hillside Avenue is one of the main shopping corridors of Jamaica and marks the southern border of Jamaica Estates.
Source: Times Ledger
I walked down Hillside Avenue toward the entrance to Jamaica Estates, which is marked by a stately-looking gatehouse. The neighborhood began as a gated community.
Source: Brick Underground
After about five minutes of walking, I came to Wareham Place, the street where President Trump lived until he was about 4 years old.
Trump told the New York Times in 1997 that Jamaica Estates was "very serene and very beautiful and it had a great feeling of safety and security."
About halfway down the block, I came across the Trump family home built by Fred C. Trump, the first house where Donald Trump lived.
The two-story Tudor-style home, which has six bedrooms, was last sold in March 2017 for $2.14 million.
"Different parts of Queens were rough; this was an oasis," Trump told the New York Times in 2015. He said Jamaica Estates "was safe — it was very family oriented."
Just a few minutes' walk away from the first Trump house is a stately-looking house on Midland Parkway.
Source: Washington Post, Washington Post
Trump used to spend time at the nearby Cunningham Park, where he reportedly played Little League, so I decided to check that out too. It was a pleasant 25-minute walk from the Trump family house.
Source: Houston Chronicle
From one corner of the park, I caught a bus to the Kew-Forest School, a private school in Forest Hills, Queens, that Trump attended through seventh grade.
The school didn't look particularly extraordinary to me, but a quick perusal of the website revealed that tuition for the 2018-19 school year ranged from $14,800 for half-day preschoolers up to $39,750 for grades 9-12.

But although it may still be an oasis, the neighborhood has changed since Trump lived there. Jason Horowitz of the New York Times described the Jamaica Estates of the 1950s as "an exclusive and nearly all-white place, resistant to outsiders and largely impenetrable to minorities."
In Queens Community District 8, which encompasses Jamaica Estates as well as Jamaica, Jamaica Hills, Briarwood, Fresh Meadows, Hillcrest, Holliswood, Kew Gardens Hills, Pomonok, and Utopia, nearly half the population — 47.2% — is foreign born.

Madone racing bicycles, built by Trek Bicycles at its factory in Waterloo, Wis., feature the company's OCLV carbon-fiber and epoxy composite frames that are strong, yet lightweight. These qualities were of key benefit to Lance Armstrong as he pumped a Madone SL 5.9 to his recent sixthstraight Tour de France win.
Zapata Espinoza, brand manager at Trek, explains, "The damping qualities of the OCLV carbon frame provides a much smoother ride than possible with steel, aluminum, or titanium frames, critical in such a long, grueling race. In choosing the bike, weight was an important consideration, but so were handling and ride characteristics."
The bike's OCLV 110 carbon frame withstood beatings on wet cobblestones, leapt quickly when Armstrong stomped on the pedal, and helped speed him to first place over the three-week, 2110-mi race, replete with the formidable climbs and fearsome descents of France's serpentine mountain roads.
Espinoza adds that although there is currently a boom of commercial carbon manufacturing in Taiwan and China, and, over the past three years, an explosion in carbon-fiber popularity, Trek has been manufacturing its patented Optimum Compaction Low Void (OCLV) frames since 1992. Reportedly, the company is the only manufacturer using this technology to make bike frames.
In this process, the company lays carbon fibers impregnated with epoxy in a frame mold. It closes the mold over an air bag, which is inflated, forcing out air pockets, or voids, between the fiber layers. These pockets must be eliminated because they are potential weak points in the frame structure.
The number after OCLV, in this example "110," refers to the grams of carbon in one square meter of frame tubing. This is the same grade of carbon used in recent space satellite construction.
Espinoza continues, "Where company stress tests showed other grades weren't the optimum material for specific frame areas, OCLV 110 was used to ensure the necessary durability. This means high-stress areas take advantage of the dense, tightly woven fibers' strength, whereas low-stress areas can afford to skimp on materials, thus further reducing the bike's weight."
Carbon-fiber technology also allows for other design fine-tuning. For example, framebuilders can orient the carbon fibers to create directionspecific strength in varying stress-load areas.
The finished aerodynamic frames sport air fairing behind the seat tubes and specially shaped down and toptubes. Trek also sells bikes with these same frames to the public.
Engineers at Trek design the molds with Solid Works 3D mechanical-design software and employ CosmosWorks designanalysis software to virtually test bikes on-the-fly before manufacturing them. The software lets engineers preview how frame design changes may effect the stresses and strains involved in a cyclist pounding up a steep mountainside. This finite-elementanalysis program saves the company money, freeing it from physical prototypes until the models are deemed workable.
At 14.96 lb, the Madone just squeaks past the minimum weight limit set by the International Cycling Union, the professional-cycling governing body. During the race, team mechanics swapped components based on performance objectives and the day's terrain. For example, during the flat stages, they equipped the bike with durable, aerodynamic aluminum wheels, whereas during mountain stages, they mounted lightweight, OCLV carbon-fiber wheels.
Vertical grinding of cylindrical parts
The 750 Series grinder from Campbell Grinding Co., Spring Lake, Mich., machines cylindrical parts in a vertical orientation, greatly reducing the effects of gravity. According to the builder, the vertical setup increases rotational stability and part quality. The machine can also integrate hard turning, which complements the grinding process and increases productivity.
Standard models feature 24-in.-high part capacity and 12 to 44-in. swing diameters. The grinder's frame design and quartz-epoxy filling combine to increase rigidity, thermal mass, and dampening qualities.
Advanced materials boost fuel-system performance
Demanding applications often call for advanced materials that withstand harsh operating conditions. Take, for instance, a dieselfuel-system at Cummins Inc., Columbus, Ind. The company boosted system performance, reliability, and durability by using a new zirconia grade from Carpenter Advanced Ceramics, Auburn, Calif.
The magnesia partially stabilized zirconia — known as ZrX-GBP (grain boundary pinned) — has the strength and fracture toughness needed for a fuel-injector metering plunger. ZrXGBP zirconia can be matched to a small plunger-bore clearance ( singledigit microns). This property allows tight-tolerance, high-pressure applications with metal components. The Carpenter zirconia has provided such high-contact stress resistance, or "damage resistance," as Cummins puts it, that it is particularly suited for the complex geometry of the metering plunger.
Carpenter provides Cummins with partially ground zirconia blanks with a drain hole in one end that intersects a cross drilling. Precisely located edges and other features are precision ground at the other end by Cummins.
Carpenter follows a production process strictly controlled by QS9000 procedures in preparing its ZrX-GBP zirconia blanks for Cummins. Carpenter grinds the outside diameter and taper of these blanks to tolerances as tight as the low single-digit micron size for cylindricity. The finished blanks undergo extensive testing and inspection for quality control before shipping.
After it receives the ground zirconia metering plunger blanks from Carpenter, Cummins completes the finishing of the O.D. surface, spring post, and groove on specialized infeed and throughfeed centerless grinders. Machine operators achieve submicron tolerances on cylindricity, which is then match-fit to similar diametrical tolerances. After surface finishing, the plungers are assembled into Cummins' Celect diesel fuel injectors.
In addition to its other benefits, the zirconia has eliminated all scuffing and adhesion problems formerly encountered with mating metal components. A monolithic metering plunger of the newly developed zirconia has proved to be a cost-effective alternative to coating.
Carpenter reports that the mean coefficient of thermal expansion for its new zirconia over a temperature range of 25 to 400 C is comparable to that of metal and distinctly higher than for most ceramics.
Five-axis laser competes against EDM
An innovative 5-axis lasermachining process lets aerospace and industrial-gas-turbine manufacturers machine complex geometries into turbine blades and vanes. Previously, the laser's quality and accuracy levels were only possible with EDM. In addition, the Lasemill process is reportedly faster and cheaper than EDMing the parts.
The Winbro Group, the Leicestershire, UK-based firm that developed Lasemill, plans to supply the technology as a complete turnkey package, comprising the 5-axis laser center, the machining program, and the jigs and fixtures for specific components. The software, Power Solution CAD/CAM software from Delcam Inc., Windsor, Ont., imports component designs, models arrays of required holes, and develops machining paths. Full visualization and process simulation within the software ensures user confidence in the final process.
The main application of the Lasemill process is expected to be in the precision drilling of holes for the air cooling of components made from stainless steel, titanium, and nickel. This is a critical part of the manufacturing operation since the aim is to create the maximum possible number of holes in the part without jeopardizing its structural integrity. Furthermore, it is usually one of the final stages in making the components, so each part already has a high built-in value. For example, in one project, it was estimated that the cost of scrapping a single part would be $20,000.

This picture frame with the Serenity Prayer hangs in the kitchen at our house. It's always been here. It was my grandmother's home, but she passed away in 2015, and now my mom owns it. I have no idea where Grandma got the frame from. Ha, as far as I was concerned, it was just a part of the house. I didn't pay much attention to what it was saying when I was younger. Like lyrics to songs, I never paid much attention to them either. Probably because I couldn't relate. And I had more important things to do when I went to Grandma's like cut people and furniture out of store catalogs and play paper dolls. Haha. The stuff my cousins and I would come up with. It wasn't until I got older that I began to cherish lyrics so much. Now I'm obsessed with them. Same with this prayer.
The other day I shared a little affirmation/poem I wrote:
We won't worry and we won't fret,
shall obstacles come our way,
For we are born creative beings,
and we will be okay.
A solution will come to us when we are facing difficult times. I do believe that. I know that. When I was at my worse – suicidal thoughts, deep depression and anxiety, didn't want to get out of bed, no appetite, no energy for weeks- I still managed to survive. I had completely given up. That's why I believe in God. The way I felt, I imagine that's how a zombie would feel. I felt like I was dying. There was nothing there inside but pain. And then I got this sign to meditate.
We are creative. We WILL come up with a solution. And sometimes that solution is to let go. Give it to God. While I don't feel nowhere near as hopeless as I did then, I do feel like I'm at a crossroads. I do feel tired. I don't know which road to take career-wise. I know I like helping people heal and I like to write. That's about it. Maybe I'm afraid to commit to something and fail. I'm afraid of what others will think.
Relationship-wise, I do feel I've given my all in my relationship with my ex. Deep down I always believed we would be together in the long run, but sometimes I wonder if I'm in denial because there have been so many walls I've/we've had to climb and I wonder if it's supposed to be this hard. It's been seven years. Maybe we weren't meant to be together and I just need to accept that. Tell my heart that.
This healing journey has been exhausting. It's just me. I'm proud of myself for how far I've come though. I basically devoted an entire year to healing. Not intentionally, but that's what happened. But I was thinking about it yesterday and it made me cry. Does the pain ever end??? Do I have a black hole of pain inside me? I don't know. I know it'll be okay. I'm just tired. I worry my family and friends are tired too.

Saint by Aubrey Irons
I'm supposed to take her life. I'm going to take her body instead.
They call me a Saint, but I'm a f*cking sinner.
Ruthless. Coldhearted. Killer. I was young when my parents took off and left me alone to fend for my two younger brothers. I learned to survive. I learned to fix problems, by any means necessary.
Which is exactly what I do for the Dark Saints - the Irish crime family that raised me as their own. I make the secrets stay in the shadows. I make the bodies disappear. I make the problems go away. I owe them that much.
That is, until she walks in and sees me with a smoking gun in my fist and blood on my hands.
Sierra Hammond - the kind of good girl who wants to pretend she's bad by hanging out in the rough parts of town. But this time, she stepped into the wrong bar and ran into the wrongman.
I know the rules, and I know letting her walk out of there alive breaks every single one of them. But one look into those big brown eyes, and one touch of those sweet curves writhing and fighting against me, and I know I'm done.
I'll start a war.
I'll break every vow.
I'll move heaven and hell to make her mine.
F*ck the rules, I'm taking her instead.
Note: Saint is a standalone novel with a HEA and NO CLIFFHANGER!
ellie's $0.02:
Let's just say I have a girl crush on author Aubrey Irons. I haven't read a thing yet by this gal that I'm not in lurve with. She is quietly, understated, magical talent. I absorb every word of her brilliantly worded plots and characters. Aside from crushing on her, I have fallen in lurve with every single one of her characters she has brought to life.
The characters are strong. They are delicate. They are alpha. They are weak. They are real.
This one is the perfect balance of violence and tension with the sexual romance and tension (different kind of tension) blended together.
I will always recommend these reads. I will always recommend Aubrey Irons.

Time to run down to Urban Outfitters and get one of those retro hipster turntables! Sony Classical announced it will release on January 8 three ultimate versions of the Eps I-VI soundtracks: The Ultimate Vinyl Collection, The Ultimate Soundtrack Collection (CD), and The Ultimate Digital Collection (hi-def downloads).
It doesn't appear that these are going to be expanded soundtracks like the supersized TPM soundtrack released in 2000. But it's a great opportunity to get all six soundtracks on vinyl if you're into that sort of thing or replace CDs/downloads you might have lost.

This is a fun, but flawed show. The first set starts off with an always welcome China>Rider and is highlighted by an enchanting Bird Song. The second set is where things get a little more interesting. The Neville Brothers sit in with the band, resulting in a Drums opener into a rocking, but at times awkward, Iko. It seems that not everyone - the Neville Brothers as well as some of the members of the Dead - is not on the same page. They seem to get things together more by the end of the set with the Stella>Not Fade Away. Then everyone, save Phil, comes out for a three song encore, heading back into the NFA before transitioning into a funky, though far from fully jammed out, Bo Diddley. The night finishes off with a solid, though equally uninspired GDTRFB. Notably, Weir rocked the encore on the tambourine.

Epping Forest District Council have produced and have consulted on a draft Local Plan. The draft Local Plan currently proposes 1,000 new homes at Latton Priory within the current plan period. Overall the draft local plan cites the need for an additional 11,400 homes across the District during this plan period. Epping Forest District Council are expected to undertake additional public consultation on the draft Local Plan in early 2018.
Harlow Council, Epping Forest District Council and East Herts District Council have received Government support for their joint Harlow and Gilston Garden Town proposal. The Garden Town reflects the importance of Harlow as an economic and social hub in the area and the need to deliver new homes to support this economic growth. The Latton Priory site is included within the strategic proposals for the Garden Town.
Why is new housing required?
There is a huge demand for new homes across the UK due to:
- Population increase
- The fact we are living longer
- Household sizes are decreasing
- Net migration
The national average age for a first-time buyer has increased to 38 and the average house now costs more than seven-times average income levels.
The lack of new homes being built in recent years, coupled with the challenge of accessing mortgages, has made the problem far worse.
So, although the housing market is struggling, the need for new homes is greater than ever.

It is quite evident that social media has changed the way most of us live. Within seconds, information crosses over borders, flies above oceans and lands within the palms of our hands. Many adults now choose to share their private lives, while the Millennial Generation was born and raised online.
For many, social media has become a tool to dispense unattractive behavior, sitting quietly hidden behind a computer. Videos of bullying and violence have quickly risen to the top of sites such as YouTube and Facebook. However, for every action there is a reaction. Social media has also become a tool for sharing and spreading the good things that resonate with so many. We have seen incredible fund raising projects, initiatives to help those who are sick, and family reunions that could have never been achieved without our wireless world.
Since I am in education, I feel obliged to share videos of students doing amazing things. The video below is a tribute to all of the wonderful and unnoticed differences our students make on a daily basis. This video is a tribute to the values we should all share, the innate ability to care for one another, and the simple act of human kindness.
Lastly, this video touches on the greatness of giving, from one student to another. It reaches out to those who empathize with the needs and feelings of others, while shining the light on a simple act that will last forever for many. For those who play or coach a sport, you may find yourself saying or feeling, "sometimes, this is what the game is all about". Please share, as this is a video everyone should watch.
