PLEASE DON’T SKIM <\/p>\n

Please don’t skim when you read,
\nFor you may miss a golden seed.
\nTake your time and do it right,
\nStudy all thru the quiet night.<\/p>\n

Within God’s Word gems there are,
\nThey will leave your mouth ajar.
\nOh what treasures you may behold,
\nMore precious than silver or gold.<\/p>\n

But if you rush you may overlook,
\nA wonderful truth in God’s Book.
\nSo much food to feed your soul,
\nLet it heal you, make you whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
