*November 16th* (with video)

What are the character traits that is good for you have inside you as a child or teenager? We can say things like faith in God, self-confidence, commitment, discipline, doing what is right, - things like that. Here, let's remember also the word "insight", the ability to observe the world around us, and look deeply behind events to understand them.

Opportunities for becoming insightful is all around us every day. Of course, there's incidents that happen in school and in the neighborhood, as well as depicted on radio and television news programs.

The point is this, it is true what is said in scripture, that "The truth will set you free." Without truth, right-and-wrong, good-but-better, we would not have "handrails", as it were, with which to navigate ourselves mentally and physically through the complexity of what occurs unexpectedly around us.

Thank God that all the convolutedness of the world is not too much for God to understand and take care of! Let us take time each day to pause and listen to the wisdom of a quiet voice inside us. That voice directs us to look below and behind what is seen only with looking closely. Thinking wisely, and with insight, "will" save you much pain and confusion in the future. Now watch and listen to this video:
