Bible Verse

"Our verse for today comes From Proverbs, chapter 1, verses 8 through 9.
Hear, my son, your father's instructions and do not forsake your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.
In addition, I think of Hebrews chapter 13, verse 8 that says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
