Not that I complain of want,

for I have learned,

in whatever state I am,

          to be content.

I know how to be abased,

and I know how to abound;

in any

       and all circumstances

I have learned the secret

of facing plenty and hunger,

abundance and want.

I can do all things in Him

       who strengthens me.

                  Philippians 4. 11-13

(In whatever state I am in.

That includes Tennesee,

New York,

     and Massachusetts,

no matter where,

no matter among whom,

no matter what circumstances,

    learn the secret of Christ within

-- which is no secret at all).
