who do not hesitate to take chances;
who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
who will be as honest in small

When I was ten, my parents gave me a brand new baseball and then left to go shopping. They left strict orders not to play baseball in the backyard, though, since we had such a small yard. Unfortunately, my friends were there with a baseball bat. They talked me into hitting just once. I decided

Larry Richards writes, "Well-established custom in the Patriarchal Age protected the rights of any child born to a man by a slave woman. Though the son of the wife was a man’s legal heir, his child by a concubine was guaranteed an inheritance. Sarah’s demand that Abraham send Ishmael away was

With new problems rising, our minds
