Palm Bay-Bayside 55, Lake Worth 25: Bears end Trojans' season at 9-3

Click title for link to PBP article.  Congratulations to the Lake Worth Trojan football team - you will rise again next year.  As to city officials who are boastful and unwilling to see realities, it's time to get downright biblical.

Quote from yesterday's article:
"Our city is creating a buzz," said Lake Worth Vice Mayor Suzanne Mulvehill. "The beach project is being done for the first time in 30 years, the football team is this good for the first time in 30 years. We're all moving together in the right direction."

Proverbs 16 New International Version

1To man belong the plans of the heart,

but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.

2All a man’s ways seem innocent to him,

but motives are weighed by the LORD.

3Commit to the LORD whatever you do,

and your plans will succeed.

4The LORD works out everything for his own ends—

even the wicked for a day of disaster.

5The LORD detests all the proud of heart.

Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.

6Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;

through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.

7When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD,

he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

8Better a little with righteousness

than much gain with injustice.

9In his heart a man plans his course,

but the LORD determines his steps.

10The lips of a king speak as an oracle,

and his mouth should not betray justice.

11Honest scales and balances are from the LORD;

all the weights in the bag are of his making.

12Kings detest wrongdoing,

for a throne is established through righteousness.

13Kings take pleasure in honest lips;

they value a man who speaks the truth.

14A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,

but a wise man will appease it.

15When a king’s face brightens, it means life;

his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.

16How much better to get wisdom than gold,

to choose understanding rather than silver!

17The highway of the upright avoids evil;

he who guards his way guards his life.

18Pride goes before destruction,

a haughty spirit before a fall.

19Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed

than to share plunder with the proud.

20Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,

and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.

21The wise in heart are called discerning,

and pleasant words promote instruction.^a

22Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it,

but folly brings punishment to fools.

23A wise man’s heart guides his mouth,

and his lips promote instruction.^b

24Pleasant words are a honeycomb,

sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

25There is a way that seems right to a man,

but in the end it leads to death.

26The laborer’s appetite works for him;

his hunger drives him on.

27A scoundrel plots evil,

and his speech is like a scorching fire.

28A perverse man stirs up dissension,

and a gossip separates close friends.

29A violent man entices his neighbor

and leads him down a path that is not good.

30He who winks with his eye is plotting perversity;

he who purses his lips is bent on evil.

31Gray hair is a crown of splendor;

it is attained by a righteous life.

32Better a patient man than a warrior,

a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

33The lot is cast into the lap,

but its every decision is from the LORD.
