Scripture Text: Song of Solomon  5:5-7     (22a, page 184)

Verses 5-7

I arose to open my beloved and my hands dripped with myrrh, and my finger with liquid myrrh, upon the handle of the bolt.  I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone.  My soul went out when he spoke.  I sought him but did not find him.

I called out to him, but he did not answer me.  They found me – the watchmen who go about in the city.  They struck me; they bruised me; they took my shawl from upon me –

Those watchman of the walls.

Why I Am Doing This

I have information that is valuable for people who are making decisions about sex, love, romance, marriage and relationships. Admittedly, sharing on these topics is not something I have been eager to do. But it is the right thing to do, so here I go jumping in with both feet. More about us.
