COT: Iron Sharpen Iron … there’s more to the proverb. The process of iron sharpening iron difficult. This process creates sparks and at times can be brutal. Just like we make each other better, it’s not always an easy of comfortable process. Sometimes making one another better will create friction and sparks might fly…get out there, make your fellow man better, and if needed get uncomfortable.
