64/365 DON'T EXPLOIT WEAKNESSES Leviticus 19:14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

THE SYSTEM OF ADVANTAGE
DAY 225 OF 365 IN 2021 THE SYSTEM OF ADVANTAGE Joshua 24:13 I gave you a land for which you never worked and cities that you didn't build, but that you have lived in.

CREATIVITY OF THOUGHT PROCESS
DAY 149 OF 365 IN 2021 As always, I am fascinated by the discussions that took place between the scribes and Jesus.
