Received this encouraging note yesterday from one of the men in our church:

He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress,
and for his children it will be a refuge. (Prov 14:26)

Only through the Lord can we be assured that our family is protected from outside influences, personal lapses, and breeches in our defenses.  In “barnspeak” that translates to, “If you leave your barn door open, a barn animal is going to get out.”
