Darwin Hunter

THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE Lord:\r\nThe Lord makes firm steps of the one who delights in him;\r\nThough he may stumble, he will not fall, For the Lord upholds him with his hand.\r\nI was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken\r\nOr their children begging bread.\r\nThey are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.\r\nTurn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.\r\n\r\n Psalm37:23-27- New International Version\r\n\r\nDarwin E.
