"Sarah"
I’m Sarah, I’m sixteen;
Last night I failed.
I prayed for more strength,
So why did I yield?
He said he loved me,
Brought me flowers and all;

And caused me to fall.
I feel so ashamed,
So dirty inside.
He’s taken my heart;

Peculiar People Day Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 17, 2016
The KJV uses the word "peculiar" 7 times - but it didn't mean "odd" or "bizarre" - it meant a treasured "possession". But what does that mean to us and how should that effect our daily lives as Christians?
