Today's lessons include Paul's letter to the Romans, in which he advises the early church that life is not about taking the easy path, but meet the challenges of life. Jonathan recounts the commencement address he gave this week that congratulated a group of high schoolers, but that their learning was not over. Building character does not consist of avoiding the hard stuff, but doing the hard work of forgiving over and over those that do wrong. The ability to do this comes as a gift from God. Character is not easy, but character counts.
