"EAT  THOU NOT THE BREAD OF HE WHO HAS AN EVIL EYE. NEITHER DESIRE THOU HIS DAINTY MEATS; FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART SO IS HE."  Proverbs 23:6-7

In Other Words: 

Be careful who you hang out with and who you trust. and if you're going to judge someone make sure you know what you're talking about.

The mind of the human being, Is complex at the very best. It tries the patient heart of God, And puts men's faith to test. To say that we are food for thought, Is to say the very least. We're an endless mix of emotions, A regular mental feast; For the heart of man is his essence, That which makes him what he is. It's how he thinks that rules the man, Controls the way he lives, And the essence of Man is his spirit, Which dwells inside the head, For as he thinks so is he, Is what The Prophet said; So if you will define the man, First learn the way he thinks. Observe the way he lives his life, The cup from which he drinks.

I believe that you truly excel at this format, i.e., first citing verse and then creating an innovative poem to flesh out all the implications. Do you teach Sunday School, by chance? If not, gather these into a 'primer' for others to drink at the fount of your wisdom. FAVE time, Judy! Thanks, gw
