    Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. In a society that embraces sin, how do we keep clean?

The hawk said it was because he could fly down and catch his dinner so quickly they could not get away. The lion said he could run the fastest and had the bigger teeth to eat ...read more
