The Starfish and the little Boy
A wise man saw a young boy throwing starfish that were stranded on the beach back into the ocean to save them from dying. When the wise man pointed out that the boy couldn't possibly save all the starfish on miles of beach, the boy responded that it made a difference for the one he threw in. This interaction troubled the wise man and made him realize he should choose to make a difference like the boy, rather than just observe from the sidelines. The next day, the wise man joined the boy in throwing starfish into the ocean to save them. The story teaches that each person has the ability to make a positive difference through helping others, even if on a small scale.

Hudson Taylor - Missionary to China
Hudson Taylor was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China in the 19th century. He founded the China Inland Mission, now known as OMF International, which became a large missionary organization that focused on evangelizing interior regions of China. Some key aspects:

- He adopted Chinese dress and customs to better connect with Chinese people and viewed this as important for an indigenous church. This was controversial among other missionaries.
- Taylor started the China Inland Mission in 1865 with the goal of sending missionaries deep into China without salaries and relying on faith for provisions.
Growth mindset
The document discusses cultivating a growth mindset in students. It emphasizes that the brain is malleable and can develop new connections through learning. It recommends focusing on learning over grades, putting in hard work, and using mistakes and feedback to improve. Praising effort rather than intelligence helps students adopt a growth mindset. Setting learning goals and regularly reflecting on progress also supports a growth mindset. Teachers should establish an environment of unconditional love, model growth mindset behaviors, allow student autonomy, and value student thoughts to build self-esteem.

Mustard seed parable
Jesus told a parable about a mustard seed that is planted and grows into the largest of plants. The parable is meant to illustrate how the Kingdom of God grows slowly and steadily from small beginnings, like a seed growing into a large tree. Although the seed is very small, through growth over time something amazing develops. In the same way, small acts of love and kindness can build the Kingdom of God from the inside out, as God's love takes root in people's hearts and their good actions spread its influence more widely in the world.
Power Point: History, Archaeology and the Bible
This document provides historical context and archaeological evidence relevant to assessing the accuracy of the Bible. It outlines important periods in the history of Israel according to biblical chronology and the dominant powers that influenced the region. It then presents archaeological findings that corroborate various biblical persons, places, and events, such as the destruction of Jericho matching biblical accounts, inscriptions mentioning biblical kings, and artifacts from the time of Jesus and Paul. The conclusion is that archaeological evidence increasingly shows the Bible to be a reliable historical document.

They eventually realize working as a team by using each other's strengths is most effective and jointly complete a fourth race by carrying each other across the river.

Jesus Feeds 5000 John 5&6
Jesus performs a miracle by feeding over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. His disciples are concerned about the large crowd that has gathered and how to feed them all. Jesus has the people sit down and then takes the small amount of food, blesses it, and miraculously multiplies it so that everyone has enough to eat, with leftovers filling twelve baskets.

Mindset for Achievement: How to Boost Achievement and Fulfillment Through Min...
Carol Dweck at BayCHI, May 11, 2010: Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. Dweck's research also shows that praising intelligence can harm motivation by creating a fixed mindset. People also tend to believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They're wrong. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports.

Brett Stones and his tour group discovered dozens of octopuses crawling on land near the beach in Wales. The octopuses seemed healthy when rescued and returned to the water, but several were later found dead on the beach.

Ross found some of her beliefs changed or "fell away" over time, and what is presented reflects her "essential truth" after standing up to scrutiny. The slideshow contains quotes and reflections on topics like personal growth, fear, creativity, and finding purpose and happiness from within rather than depending on external factors.

Starfish story
- 1. Starfish Story By Loren Eisley
- 2. Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing.
- 3. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work.
- 4. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions.
- 5. Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
- 6. The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”
- 7. The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”
- 8. The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”
- 9. The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!” “It made a difference to that one!”
- 10. Moral of the story…..
- 11. Every action counts no matter how small it seams at the time!
- 12. If the task seems daunting and you don’t think you’re making a difference……. You are probably wrong!
- 13. “To the world you may just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” …….Brandi Snyder
