Character


I was reading an article today that mentioned something neat that Benjamin Franklin was said to have done for years. He picked thirteen character traits that he wanted to see developed in himself, and then studied one a week for thirteen weeks. He just kept cycling through that list. I like that idea. I'm thinking that when the girls get back we will sit as a family and make a list like this, and then use different resources to study those traits. Maybe we can even each take a day where we are in charge of sharing some of our "research". We could pull out the Bible, biographies, personal experiences... I like it, but we'll see how it catches on :).
