"Listen and understand. What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." — Matthew 15:25 (NIV)

Step out, and look up in faith as you walk on the high road of peace. Jesus says: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." — John 14:27 (NIV)
