Today you changed out your betta's water after using the gravel vacuum. He doesn't like you doing anything in his tank but he prefers water changes over tank cleanings. Water changes you don't take him out of his tank. He swims around very happy to have clean fresh water! You smile at him as he does his happy dance for you. "Give me two bloodworms and I shall tell you something very important." He swims to the surface as you open the jar of freeze dried bloodworms. You place two worms in his tank for him. He eagerly eats them. When he is finished he looks at you for a long while. Suddenly he speaks, "These words of wisdom are not my own; for they come from God. Look to Matthew 12:43-45; When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other sprits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even shall it be also unto this wicked generation." You watch him swim to his plants and try to disappear in them.
