A Day in Proverbs

  When I had originaly thought of this website, I wanted it to be a place where people could come for advice and maybe even some wisdom. Now, (you may find this shocking because I sure did), I actualy don't know everything, but what I do know I have learned from the people around me. Though, one of my favorite places to gather wisdom is from the book of proverbs. Although I do, you don't have to neccesarily believe in a religion to appreciate the wisdom proverbs has to offer. Even the first few sentences confirm the books purpose for giving wise and helpful life instructions. Let me share them with you.


The Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
to know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity;
to give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man knowledge and discretion.


So, what's my point, you may ask?  I have decided to add a new section to my page. I am going to call it "A Day in Proverbs". The reason is because some of the most common sayings we have come from this book and it's a great resource for some of life's toughest situations. It may not be everday, but as often as I can I will write a proverb and then write about it. ( I know, it doesn't sound that interesting, but I promise to try and make it exciting :-)  But for now, I will leave you with this thought:


  The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
   but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
  Proverbs 12:18
