Wise Living Is Clean Living (Proverbs 15:1-17)

A level-headed person gives helpful answers, but a know-it-all only keeps on babbling nonsense.

A gentle answer quiets anger, but a harsh one stirs it up. When wise people speak, they make knowledge attractive, but stupid people spout nonsense. The Lord sees what happens everywhere; he is watching us, whether we do good or evil. Kind words bring life, but cruel words crush your spirit. It is foolish to ignore what your parents taught you; it is wise to accept their…

Call on the Lord out of a Pure Heart, having No Impurity but being Focused on Christ

 2 Timothy says that we need to call on the Lord out of a pure heart and pursue Him with those who call Him out of a pure heart; a pure heart is fixed on God, free from any impurity, not mixed, and focused only on the Lord. May we be those who call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart and pursue Christ as righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure…

Wisdom for Life (Proverbs 11:1-31)

Anyone can find the dirt in someone. Be the one to find the gold.

The Lord detests dishonest scales,    but delights in an accurate weight.When pride comes, so does shame,    but wisdom brings humility.Integrity guides the virtuous,    but dishonesty ruins the treacherous.Riches don’t help in the day of wrath,    but righteousness rescues from death.The righteousness of the innocent makes their path straight,    but the wicked fall in their wickedness.Those who…

Summer of change.

Maddie Fenton was many things, and a patient mother of two was only one of them. Here lately, however, Maddie found her patience wearing thin with their youngest child. Now she loved Danny. He was her son, after all, but here lately, his actions and overall dismissive attitude towards everything from his grades to his responsibilities was starting to get to her.

She and Jack had tried everything they could think of to try and get Danny to behave and reconsiderhis actions. From taking away his phone, restricting time with his friends, to full-on grounding him. Nothing seemed to work. They were running out of options, but there was one last thing she wanted to try before, even considering bringing up the suggestion of military school to her husband.

"Hey Jack?" She called to her husband from the living room." Yeah, Madds?" He called back from his position over the kitchen table as he tried to fix the trigger on their latest invention. Hoping that this will be what they'll need to finally catch that ectoplasmic nuisance of a ghost boy.

"Your cousin, the one from Gotham; the one you introduced me to at our wedding. He's a cop, right?"

-------------------------------------------------------

Detective Harvey Bullock was a man of little patience and even less tolerance to the kind of nonsense that the usual scum of Gotham City drummed up.

The only times he could ever really recall ever having more patience and tolerance than a saint was when he was growing up with his favorite cousin. So when said favorite cousin called him up out of the blue, asking for a favor, Bullock did little else, then say, "Sure thing," and " anything for you, little Jacky.'

That was how he got roped into looking after his cousins son for the summer. At first, he was hesitant. Asking Jack if he was sure he wanted to do that. After all, he didn't really have much experience with kids( and no, the Bats kids don't count).

But when Jack started telling him about all the trouble his kid was getting into. The arguments, the mysterious bruises, the skipping school, etc. The boy was on the start of a one-way street down to a bad place, and Bullock didn't like it. So he sucked it up and asked his cousin when he could send him.

Now Harvey knew he wasn't a good role model, that Gotham wasn't the safest place for any saine parent to raise a child, let alone send one here; but now that he was told what was going on with Danny. Bullock found himself determined to get the teen to turn over a new leaf. "Who knows," he thought to himself hopefully, "maybe Gotham was the perfect place for him to do it?"
