  • I have known Lane Lindell for six years and have the utmost respect for her. I found her to be a beautiful young lady both inside and out. She is mature,articulate, fun-loving and accomplished. Along with her beauty and intelligence and presence, she is also kind and considerate. She has all the qualities to win the Miss World pageant.

    I don’t think this is correctly worded:
    Jesus’ Golden Rule: “Treat others the way they would like to be treated”.

    Isn’t it more like:
    “Treat others the way you want to be treated” ?
