"WRATH IS FIERCE AND ANGER IS A FLOOD, BUT WHO CAN STAND BEFORE JEALOUSY?

BETTER IS OPEN REBUKE THAN LOVE THAT IS CONCEALED."

Proverbs 27:4-5

What lies before me and what lies behind me are small matters compared to what lies within me.

H.D. Thoreau

He forgives what I cannot. What I hold on to, He's forgot. What I cling to He sets free, For what I cling to, Clings to me.

Thank you so much Paul. When we hold a grudge we hurt ourselves more than anyone else. I know that better than anyone. Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB
