THAT IS THE KIND OF LOVE I WANT IN MY LIFE It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while, as she is a victim of Alzheimer's disease. As we talked, I asked if she wo...

Pro 20:6 KJV Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? So essentially, the Bible talks about a virtuous woman and a faithful man! The question is where can one find a faithful man? In fact Message translations says: Pro 20:6 MSG Lots of people claim to be loyal and loving, but where on earth can you find one?

Oh! Sex, who murdered you? Who turned you into what you are not? Who introduced you to the master of all evil? Who linked you up to that black creature beneath the earth? Why did you allowed yourself to be used by him ? Now you have become a tool in his hands, not just a tool, but a powerful tool that destroys lives, destinies and marriages...little wonder he calls you, “mother of destroyers.” He has turned you into evil; he has even made you friendlier to the youths than the married ones.

Oh! What a mess!
