We are the one with the influence. Are we going to use it for good or for evil? I mean, when you think about what the Scripture says: \u201cThe power of the tongue is for life or for death.\u201d So, what are we saying? Is it going to bring life, or is it going to bring death to the stepfamily environment? What a place for a hero to step up!\xa0 - Gil Stuart
