2 Thessalonians 2:15-17

So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Parent, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.

Thus, I name my world.” For “Bus Garage,” she explained, “It was Sunday, so the open garage was totally filled with yellow school buses.
