Each of us needs to have our minds renewed. We need a new mind-set that values things like kindness, integrity, mentoring, patience, consideration, concern for others, gratitude, generosity, forgiveness, restorative justice and wisdom. In the process of renewal, we need to be highly conscious of those who do not espouse the same values and be well educated as to their tactics.
