They just sat down after eating lunch with the workers, so their hands are clean.

You entered a place where Christians worship God and showed no consideration for our house of prayer. John concurred, saying,"You see the repercussions of your sins? I'll let the cops know you're hungry and in need of food, my playmate. God is the God of second chances and righteousness.” Adding,“I am confident that the law does not excuse anyone, therefore while you are in jail, begin to confess your wrongdoings and repent.

Chapter Sixty-three [ The Lovers of mans’ soul]Ericka couldn't help that morning while she was in Teddy’s car with her family but thought after hearing about that sporting event from her male playmates that early morning.
