Walk in Love
I can still hear my principal from Castle High School saying, “If you are wearing a Castle shirt of any kind, you are a representation of a Castle Knight wherever you are. Be a good representative of us.” Who or what do you represent? My answers consist of my school, my church, my family, my…
