Is good character important? How do you teach it? What is your opinion? Leave a comment....please.
Good character is mandatory, especially in this society. My husband says, "Character is doing the right thing when no one is looking." Character comes from daily talking about God's standards, what He expects from us. Without character, a society will fall into ruins!
