TEST PAGES
Constantly watched over
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you (Psalm 139:17,18).
Can I come to church?

No broken-down walls
A person without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls (Proverbs 25:28).
The Lord is Lord, indeed
No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the Lord (Proverbs 21:30 ESV).
