Here We Are On The Veranda With Wisdom

Heart rocks with tomato.

Ah, time to be together for a few minutes anyway. This morning we will invite Wisdom in to speak with us about, well wisdom. I have seen that term and thought that it was something for old guys. But wait I am an old guy. Hmmm. But it has always had an unattainable quality about it like it was for someone else to play with. I’ll have to wait for someone else to fill me in on what is wise and what isn’t.

This morning we had a great Bible Guys meeting and we talked of a lot of things but one thing that came up was a definition for wisdom. And that was that it is healed suffering. Wisdom, any thoughts on that? Yes, you say that it reminds you of the phrase School of Hard Knocks. Yea, haven’t heard that in a long time. That is learning through living life, right?

Well yes, each one of those knocks needs to heal up to garner wisdom out of them. Yes, otherwise we could complain about them and not get any further. Or we could be unforgiving and it wouldn’t go beyond just a painful memory to relive and relive. I see that.

How else can we think of this? Yes, we know heart rocks. We like to collect them and have them around, yes, rocks that are in roughly a heart shape. So, you are saying that the cleft in the heart rock is basically an injury. That the rock is rolled and tumbled for a thousand years afterward and it becomes worn smooth or healed but there is still evidence of the injury. That’s cool, yes I can see that. In order to have heart as we say we need to have suffering and healing. I will think about that, yes.

All right, there you go! Heart shaped loves, Felipé.

  1. Great bunch of wisdom packed into your post. All those hard knocks adding up to wisdom. So…we should be embracing our hard knocks so we don’t end up old and unwise. Right?

    Happy Father’s Day to you Phil!

    1. Joy ~ so great to hear from you. Maybe give me an email sometime soon and let me know how things are going. We are going over the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Wisdom today and number 7, counsel, tomorrow. We have this open house August 23-26 if you can get away at all. Sherie will be up here. And right, no old and unwise, bad combo. Felipé.x

  2. Wow – You had a fine and productive visit with Wisdom, and the wisdom you shared about healing and forgiving and hearts with an irremovable cleft…
    Welp, that just froze me in my tracks, stopped the crazy spinning wheels in my head and anchored me to Right Now. I think Right Now is the only place Wisdom stops to visit, the only place she grows.
    Thank you. Again.

    1. Nice Steve-O, Good words from you also. So glad that we have the few minutes that we have to work on this stuff, since we don’t seem to have campfire time anymore. We hope that you will be able to get up here for the Veranda celebration in August. Maybe you will be settled in by then in Portland. Thanks for being here in spirit man, Felipé.
