Proverbs 4:6
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
I skipped school with my best friend Harold one day in high school. We just got in his car and spent the day wandering around and talking. Momma personally came to Conroe High School the next day and provided a doctor's note and her personal validation that I had been sick.
I had told her about my deed the evening of it. She covered me. It really upset the 9th grade vice principal, Mr. Golding. He had a personal grudge against me stemming from a stunt that I pulled in elementary school.
He told me,"I don't know why your mom did this for you. But I know the truth."
(I figure that Harold and me had been followed that day by someone. Until now...I have never revealed this story.)
