As we go through the months of January and February putting a heavy emphasis on Choi Kwang Do's First Principle - HUMILITY - I have been posting some encouraging quotes and Bible verses on Facebook. I wanted to share them as well on our webpage as not everyone is on facebook and not everyone who is on facebook checks it regularly. I will be updating this list each day as well. The more we as a school and individuals consciously focus on being humble, the more we are able to ministry to those around us!!!

As we end the month of February, let us not loose sight of what Humility means and how we can daily continue to go through life with a Humble Spirit.  Let us always remember we were all uniquely made and special in our own ways.  Let us keep focus on God and not think of ourselves less than others but thing of ourselves less often - always looking for ways to allow God to show His love through us!!
