Donnell Thomas

leadeth me besides the still waters. He restorerh my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of

righteousness for His names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of

death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou

preparest a table before me in the prescience 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.” Psalms 23:1-6
