PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Proverbs 22:3 and Proverbs 27:12

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

“A PRUDENT MAN”

Careful, wise discernment; the avoidance of rash behavior or

speech; the good management of talents and resources and the showing of tact and wisdom in

relationships with other people.

IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE TEACHER!!
