The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He waketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shawow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me in the
presente of mine enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house
of the LORD Forever

You are me best friend the world

I LOVE JOHN
with love you Wife Dana
