1) I always like reading Proverbs. I particularly like the personification of traits, qualities, and non-animate things. The writing almost gives you a visual image of Wisdom and Folly as women of different sorts. Several months ago I came across Proverbs 1:9. It says that Wisdom built her house; she has carved seven columns. Then I found James 3:17 which says “…the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”
I also recalled Psalm 111:10 saying the fear of the LORD is the beginning or foundation of wisdom. So my rendition of Proverbs 1:9 is shown with this posting. Each of the seven columns has a message of its own.
Proverbs 10:18 says “Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool”. After sharing this with several co-workers, we discussed it for a while and ended with a few admissions of being “honest fools”.
