A Saying Worth Repeating!

There is a saying that came to mind today.  The pastor of a church that Mike and I went to many years ago used to say it all the time.  I think it bears repeating!

Sin will take you places you don't want to go,

Keep you longer than you want to stay,

And cost you more than you want to pay!

The Influence of a Woman

"Woman was the finishing grace of the creation.  Woman was the completeness of man's bliss in Paradise.  Woman was the cause of sin and death to our world.  The world was redeemed by the Seed of the woman.  Woman is the mother of the human race.  She is either our companion, counselor, and comforter in the pilgrimage of life; or she is our tempter, scourge, and destroyer.  Our sweetest cup of earthly happiness or our bitterest draught of sorrow is mixed and administered by her hand.  She not only renders smooth or rough our path to the grave, but helps or hinders our progress to immortality.  In heaven we shall bless God for her aid in assisting us to reach that blissful state; or amidst the torments of unutterable woe in another region, we shall deplore the fatality of her influence..."
