Matt. 26:16-20 If you have lived in the Central Florida area for a while, you have likely heard of Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of Bethune Cookman University and an influential proponent of education. Often, one of the dangers we can face operated and compartmentalize parts of our lives. However, Mrs. Bethune felt that our beliefs and our belief in Jesus should shape our lives and how we operate in the world. Mary McLeod Bethune teaches us that if we focus our attention locally, we can have the greatest impact.
