Proverbs 14:2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
Yolanda and David were married on July the tenth, the ceremony was beautiful.  The two had met in high school, tenth grade, which is why they decided to get married on the tenth.  It had been early in the morning Yolanda had just gotten off the bus and was walking into the front doors of the school, she had a prayer meeting to attend before classes started.  She walked through the door of room five o one to see a new comer to the group.
David was new to the school, he was five feet six, brown hair, green eyes, medium build, and a gorgeous smile.  Surrounded by several girls, Patricia, Stacy, Washi, Mary, and Janet, who were all fawning over his looks and giggling at every word he said.
Yolanda walked over to her regular desk and set her books down, David immediately noticed her and excused himself from the group, leaving behind a group of jealous females.
The two hit it off perfectly, they had lots of common interests, video gaming, action movies, plays, even the same rock artist.  They became inseparable, they could be seen holding hands, whispering, giggling, and always off to themselves though they still attend the prayer group.
There was another couple from that same school, Jack and Jeena.  Jeena had been Yolanda's friend for several years before high school, but after she met Jack she was rarely seen anymore.  Rumors were always flying about the two of them going off and having sex in the stairwells and private abortions.
Yolanda had invited Jeena to the wedding, she hadn't seen her in over three years.  She called her on the phone to invite her only to find that she had moved out of her mothers house to live with Jack in a little one room apartment on the west side of town.
Not wanting Jeena to miss out, she got in her car and drove over there.  The apartment complex was run down, there were all kinds of vagrants and drug pushers standing around outside.  Yolanda wasn't afraid, she knew that God would protect her.  She walked past them up the flight of stairs and knocked on the door with eleven D painted on it.
A woman answered the door, it was Jeena, but a shadow of her former self.  Dark circles under her eyes, her body was misshapen, her hair looked as if it hadn't been combed for weeks.  She smiled at Yolanda, who hadn't changed since high school and welcomed her in.  Yolanda glanced around at her meager possessions, a screaming baby sat in the corner in a makeshift playpen made out of old wooden crates and blankets draped over the sides and bottom.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to come to the wedding." Yolanda sat down on the old broken down couch that sat in the living room.
"Wedding?" Jeena walked over and picked up the screaming baby out of the playpen.
"Yes, you remember David Hillinger from high school?"
"High school..."Jeena half laughed.  "Those were the days when nothing mattered, you could do what you wanted to and nothing happened to you.  They seem like years away from now, I remember back then I was going out with Jack.  That was back before I
