In this week's class, we connected 3 words with each of the chapters covered.

• Chapter 1 - Integrity - Being who you say you are and this is shown by honoring God when no one is looking.
• Chapter 2 - Wisdom - Factual knowledge, situational insight (we talked about what this means).
• Chapter 3 - Courage - Trusting God fully in any situation and this is shown by OBEDIENCE even when others and my own desires say otherwise.  It is NOT a lack of fear.
