“This exhibit illustrates moments in South Carolinas’ history. Scenes of work, celebration and tragedy remind us that although most enjoy a great life. Joy is sometimes interrupted by tragedy. How do you individually respond to or react to joys and pains? Is your response genuinely yours? Or are you influenced by your audience/peers? Is your stance one of helpfulness? Do you change your response based on who is listening in the moment?When your stance is truth, fact and experience, not myth, rumor or emotion, this is the only path to positive change.We should not be as children, tossed back and forth by waves of opinion, blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Ephesians 4:14” - Alvin B Glen
