New Reminders: Repentance
According to Wikipedia, “Repentance is reviewing one’s actions and feeling shame or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to actual actions that show and prove a change for the better.” If our conscience tells us that we have done something wrong, it is important to take steps to do what we can…

And that is generally, where discipline begins, but is far from where discipline should end. Discipline is a life-long learning process. Following the rules,…
