"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.
