Final Message It's not what is poured into a student that counts, but what is planted. (Linda Conway) All education springs from some image of the future. If the image of the future held by a society is grossly inaccurate, its education system will betray its youth. (Alvin Toffler) Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established. (Proverbs 16: 3) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for proof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Tim 3: 16)
