"You are in the process of becoming what you are going to be," is an axiom first heard in the early 1960's on my arrival at Bible College green as grass and wet behind the ears. Contained in these few cryptic words is a truth many will live a lifetime and never grasp. 

Each date, Bible study, conversation, part time job, or book we read helps to formulate opinion and character.

Even the occasional disagreement or lively debate may serve to coagulate our view of life and how it should be lived.

It behooves us to be careful what influences we allow into our lives. Even the most casual contact or recreational choice can unduly affect our outlook.

The children's chorus says, "So be careful little eyes what you see!"

May we be discerning in all we do.

With compassion,

Pastor Rich Orrell
