Hebrews 2: 1-4…. A warning
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

Proverbs 31: 1-9…. A mother’s advice.

Proverbs 30: 15-19 Scattered thoughts.
15. The leech has two daughters:Give and Give. Comment: One day I remember a child who was very anaemic, passing bright blood from her bottom.
