Saul’s twinkling eyes took it all in – the platinum hair framing a first-class face, the silvery sheath dress wrapped around a figure that was out of sight, but in plain view. She was definitely the classiest thing in the joint -- Bannister’s by name,...

The women danced singing:
 "Saul has killed his thousands
 and David his tens of thousands."
(1Samuel 18:7). 

Through envy and perhaps jealousy
Saul pursued David from that day onward;

The handed instruction was ‘Within two hours’
Purchase two arresting flowers
With an overpowering scent 
For A Heart pitiably rent
And a head sorrowfully bent …

The handed money with me,
The Nice...

to tell Saul of the plan He'd recommend. 

"Saul will kill me," was this believer's cry.
"What could I do?  I'm certain I would die."
And...
