We finished up January and February focusing on our first principle of humility. As we go through spring (March and April) we will be moving on to our next principle of INTEGRITY. This is another character trait and principle that we find in the Bible and is so important as we go through our lives.
I will continue to post Bible verses and quotes, as I did with humility on my facebook page, but want to have it here as a resource as well. There are also sheets in the dojang that can be taken home to continue enforcing these principles / traits. Feel free to take as many as you would like.
