Some verses on my mind…

Some verses I’ve been thinking about lately, or that describe what I’ve been thinking about. Submitted without comment… The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbor comes and examines him. Proverbs 18:17   See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition,…

It’s my month to do devotionals each week for the Christian group at work. Here’s another. For what it’s worth, I like to think that I’m the first person to mention nipple chafing in a devotional.
