Value 2: Sharpen the saw
An adage says, “Time spent sharpening the axe may well be spared from swinging it.” The mission of Grace is a massive undertaking. If we want to be effective for the long haul, we need to ensure that we are the most effective tools we can be. We must maintain our health spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This also includes the idea that we must constantly be learning and growing to continue increasing our effectiveness over time.
