I think my favorite 'quote' is ""Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good." ~ Titus 2:3 ~ This Scripture needs to be imprinted on road signs and billboards. Seems like most women are pigs now and that's why our society is falling apart.
