Mark~ Cast not hatred's stone... true we are not to be the first to throw the stone, but to thrive to be an example in love. As for temptations in our walk in life, we all as humans feel the desire to go that step, but we must do whatever we can to avoid those things, in order to secure that safe walk with God. Strength to avoid the things that seem to be a stumbling block can only come from God. I myself need that touch daily from the one that can help me.I am but a weak vessel. I have to say this is very moving to read. Deb |

Each of these are precious renderings. I'm trying to memorize them to help me in both my walk and writing. Thank you, Mark. |
