As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.  Proverbs 27:17

Slag and dross are the refuse that results from melting nonferrous metals, slag for those requiring high heat and dross for those requiring low heat.  The slag and dross refuse reduces the quality of the casting.  When we allow slag and dross in our lives, it reduces the quality of our character which can reduce the quality of our relationships, our thinking, our choices, our lives.  Iron sharpens iron; slag, if not disposed of, weakens, cracks, and eventually, in time and with testing, breaks the iron. Thankful for the irons in my life.  God bless you all…you know who you are.
