I don't have much time. I am part of the honor guard at three funerals today and I have to get ready to go. However, I wanted to check in.

"Prompt: Proverbs 3:13-18
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Write about the value of wisdom. What is it worth to you?"

Wisdom is a tricky thing. It can be quite elusive and most people do not understand what true wisdom is. They believe wisdom is being able to sit around and spout off wonderful sayings. It is not. Wisdom is actually experience and it only comes with time. I value wisdom because I know the wisdom I have was gained through experience. Solomon was the exception to the rule. God gave Solomon wisdom without the experience. Most of us gain it through the college of hard knocks. I did and thus I value it.
