Jack-in -the-Pulpit

The Wockenflock spoke in church today on the Love of God, which is charity, compassion, love, mercy.
If you read through each phrase slowly and ponder the meaning, the Charity verses take on life and true meaning.

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long [endures], and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly [indecently], seeketh not her own [unselfish, seeks the welfare of others], is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth:

As always, this did not photograph well.
