like breaching a dam

Last Week's memory verse in the Ambrose household ... 
Proverbs 17:14 ...

Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. 

James Joy

When I am afraid

establish the work of our hands

this week's memory verse

good medicine

with feeling!

We say the first bit quietly or normally AND THEN WE GO LOUD FOR THE 'DO NOT GIVE INTO THEM'!
All with lots of giggles. But deadly serious intent.
