    Hey Tara. I was reading through I Timothy last night and came across the scripture you referenced in the post. I’d looked it up a few days ago when you initially posted it. When I read it again last night in context with the chapters around it, it kind of re-enforced the message a bit. I thought it was cool and wanted to share that with you. Thanks! :-)
