We all want to succeed. The wisdom needed to succeed in life is available to all of us. Wisdom has issued her invitation "Come and eat!". Many cannot hear the call because life is noisy. Others have heard the invitation, but they do not value it. Success is found by those who respond to the call , come to the table, and eat.

There is a scientific law called entropy.  It means that everything moves from order to disorder.  We live in a time when the very earth itself is being shaken  (see the Links section).  Nevertheless, we can live a productive and purposeful life if we treasure God's word.  If we take the time to consider His word and hide it in our hearts, God says, "we will live"!

Babies are not born good.  As cute as they may look, without proper training and discipline, a problem child he will be.  God has provided a solution for His children which gives them the power to DO better.  All we have to do is come to Him and pursue His wisdom.  There is power in the parable.

Every wise man wants a woman of virtue.  He knows that he has one when other wise men voice their respect for her!  A virtuous woman (Psalms 31) is compassionate and industrious. She protects and nourishes her fanily.  She presents herself to the public with modesty and dignity  She delights greatly in helping and exalting her husband.  A woman is not born virtuous.  She becomes virtuous because she trusts God to help her become better each day.  Her beauty and royalty is pictured here as silk and purple garments.  Her worth is far above rubies.

We have the option to choose what we do and how we treat people throughout our lives.  What people say about us reveals how we have lived.

It is not easy to reach out and help someone who has hurt you or shown that they dislike you.  But, when they are in need it is wise and compassionate to give to their need.  It may cause them to regret what they did to you and serve as a catalyst for their growth.  Regardless of their reaction, God will ensure that you are rewarded.

Time is precious!  It takes time to know God and discover your purpose.  It takes time to raise children of character.  It takes time to love your neighbor.  Don't lose everything by overworking to be rich.  

Life is filled with challenges.  Some of us are blessed with more resources than others, this is a fact of life.  If we ignore the need of others, who will help us when we are in need?  Life is just better when we choose to love our neighbors.

Social media has provided a new way for people to display their good character, or expose their lack of it.  People can post things that they might not say face to face.  A wise person recognizes the difference between a discussion and a fight and will honorably defuse the "altercation" or quickly bow out.  The foolish will continue to fight.

Lying is an attempt to protect, enrich or injure someone (that someone might be ourselves). Even if we think the lie accomplishes our goal, there is an unseen consequence that we set into motion. If we understood how dangerous lying was (to us), we would work harder to only speak the truth!A
