editor's corner: the village
We've all heard the phrase, "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child!" Who is the village? The village is me, the village is you, each of us as integral pieces that make up the whole, regardless, of race, personal accomplishments or socio-economic status.
"Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he shall not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 22:6
