It is impossible for one tool to become sharper without the presence of the other. Left alone, both blades would be dull and quite useless. Our purpose is to live and serve in the community of others, and to create a place to build loving and growing relationships.

​

Giving a tool the desired sharpness took time in the ancient world, as there were no electric whetstones or other sharpening devices. Persistent along with careful striking was required, and the process lasted longer than a matter of seconds. One man does not sharpen another with just one speech, though words spoken in the right season can go quite far in helping improve another person. Instead, people sharpen one another over time, through years of friendship and all of the ins and outs that come with enduring relationships.

We encourage you all to endure friendships and sharpen one another as we bring a sense of community to Parker County.
