You Never Can Tell
Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) You never can tell when you send a word,Like an arrow shot from a bowBy an archer blind, be it cruel or kind,Just where it may chance to go.It may pierce the breast of your dearest friend.Tipped with its poison or balm,To a stranger’s heart in life’s great mart,It…

(I have not posted for a couple of weeks as I was waiting for our Sunday lessons to catch up. We have now arrived at Acts 22). We have seen Paul as a person on mission, and now we have the privilege of hearing him recount his testimony. He was falsely accused and arrested, and…
