Harry E. "Eddie" Wilson

"Love, doesn't have a swelled head, doesn't force itself on others, isn't always "me first", doesn't fly off the handle, doesn't keep score of the sins of others, doesn't revel when others grovel, takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, Always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going till the end" 1 Corinthians 13:1-14:1.
