No Joke
Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.

Proverbs 27:19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. If the eyes are the windows of the soul then the mouth is the doorway of the heart. The things that we see and hear create feelings and emotions within our heart. The more intense the emotion is, the… Continue reading Reflections
