Favorite Scripture Verse:
I Corinthians 3:18-20: "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise. For the wisdom of the world is foolishness before God. For it is written, 'He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness;' and again, 'The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.'
