My start

My desire

Psalm 15:1-5, LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; he who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend, in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD; he who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

My motto
