“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. I have riches and honor, As well as enduring wealth and justice. My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold, My wages better than sterling silver! I walk in righteousness, In paths of justice. Those who love me inherit wealth. I will fill their treasuries.” ~ Proverbs 8:17-21 ~ Rich’s Bible Study: Meets every other Saturday 23 Claudette Circle, Framingham, 01701 (508)788-0379 Contact Rich at livendamusic@verizon.net / italianevangelist59@rcn.com.
