Two stories have appeared in the local media highlighting then menace of alcahol in our society.
Pr 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. It appears from a number of reports liquor was involved here!
This story is much more tragic, it is something which has needed said for years.
SUICIDE in N. Belfast!
Prov 23: 29 ¶ Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
