The morality of justice is the light of righteousness. Its virtue rises not from concern or faith alone but is driven by the needs and love for others and to act with compelling deeds. It is a God given attribute. To do right is to be righteous. On that imperative, the sun will always rise on that which is honorable to the heart of God. The righteous are bathed in the brightness of its dawn and reside in the sanctity of that divine peace... The Sun Shines On The Righteous Contest By Serene Roberts 04/12/2016

Neva, you are too kind. My insight is much less than I should hope for, but thank you. I'm excited to read more from you. I'm way behind in the amount of time I usually spend reading for some reason. I'll check in again soon. Peace be with you Neva, Charlie
