There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:      haughty eyes,      lying tongue,      hands that shed innocent blood,      a heart that devises wicked schemes,      feet that are quick to rush into evil,      a false witness who pours out lies      and a man who…

                                                                   OR                               Okay, I happen to think actress Keira Knightley is beautiful. Inserted into acting at a young age, she became a sensation after playing Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean Series.

                  An interesting mystery accompanying graphic sex scenes. Not sure which gets more attention. Since I'm an adult, married, have had two sons, I read through the sexual episodes for one reason: to know what to expect from this author, to realize and confirm the graphic nature of sex in the general market – and…

  For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord,   and he examines all his paths. The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him;   the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline,   led astray by his own great folly.   Proverbs 5:21-23…
