“My hope is that the description of God’s love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover . . . God’s love in yours."

The Wisdom of Fools....

I continue to find myself fascinated in re-definitions of wisdom and power-- One I found in a book entitled "Contentment" by Robert A. Johnson & Jerry M Ruhl.....

"There is an old proverb that God wanted to hide wisdom so that no everyone would indiscriminately find it. Accordingly, God decided to place it in innocent children and fools. It is hard to get wisdom out of an innocent child, and we would never think to get it out of a fool. In both cases it is fairly safe..." (page 51)...

What am I thinking?
It is time to hang out with more children & "fools"!!
