Toward Destruction Stride

Learning about you, I just have to decide doing what's right is best with God as my guide... I verily pity your family, especially your bride hope you repented ... since your sins you can never hide. This epigram is for you; hope you won't deride may its truth bring great warning tide:
Vanquish vain pride* that speeds up downfall ride… lest folly and flaw exposed side by side overtake with destruction stride.
Such is not just for Dr. Harold Frederick Shipman**who died languishing with his vain arrogance so deep and wide... may its biblical essence glow while practical virtue along hearts glide prodding me to live along meaningful purpose while in Christ I abide! Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
