WISDOM

I've been to the library to take back books and bring new books home.  I am a reader.  My mother was a reader.  She liked detective and murder mysteries.  For the most part I don't care for that type of literature, but will read one on occasion.  I don't read as much as I used to as my eyes get tired.  Yet, I still read and still enjoy reading.  I suppose that reading is my escapism and I can turn my imagination loose.  No, I don't read crude, smut or porn.

As the weather has turned cold and I am staying in more and it is nice to have a few books to enjoy while waiting for a warm up.  I just don't like having to out in 20 degree temps. if I don't have to.  I suppose that 20 degrees is like a day at the beach for some people in other parts of the world, but I was never meant to be a penguin in the Arctic or anywhere cold.

There isn't much that I need that I would have to out for than milk.  There isn't any mass all week so I won't be going to church.  There will be a communion service, but I am staying in.  To go to a communion service I would have to drive for a short service because church is not just around the block.  So, I am staying in, only going out if I must.

DAYS SHOULD SPEAK,

I THOUGHT,

AND MANY YEARS

TEACH WISDOM.

BUT IT IS

 THE SPIRIT

IN MAN,

THE BREATH

OF THE ALMIGHTY

THAT GIVES HIM

UNDERSTANDING.

 

 

Job 32: 7-8

 

Even as we get "older and wiser" we may not have much understanding of the ways and mysteries of God.  Sometimes foolishness and stupidness tag along behind us no matter how "old" we get and "wiser" we think we are.
