ESCAPE FROM THE LEPERS COLONY

Freaked out; hair stood up still
Volcanic-ambition to its rest, like the farmers tools
High octane passion is yesterday’s story
His soul has grown older than his face
He still owns an apartment at lepers colony
Escape is out of his renovation plan

A cloud without rain, he exclaimed;
The most exciting moment of life is gone!
The night times in front of the village store!
When Abraham Lincoln was the President!
Stuck in a basement, eating old brownies with sad face

Come up high to the summit of Kilimanjaro!
There is more to see when you want to see
Watch daffodils spread on fertile soils
Harmonize yourself with its contrasting beauty
Watch sparrows tweets with full stomach
Inhale fresh hope into your lungs
It’s a new day, the new has come

 Who is he?

WISDOM ACCELERATION


By wisdom a house is built
By wisdom a house is built

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver! Proverbs 16:16 (NIV)

I think what fascinates me about wisdom is that it is non-discriminatory. You can have a Phd and lack wisdom, but you can be illiterate and be wise. The pauper can obtain it, but the wealthy can’t buy it. And the strong can’t take it from the one who is weak. It would seem wisdom can be obtained by all. The only advantage in obtaining wisdom is time. The longer one lives the more opportunities to amass it, but age is only an advantage, it’s not a guarantee.

So how do we get it?

It seems that humility is one accelerant to obtaining wisdom.

Proverbs 18:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” What could be more humbling than recognizing the character and nature of God and our position to Him? The wisest of people I have encountered do not have even a smidge of arrogance or haughtiness in their person. Jesus, who had every right to power, became nothing, serving his own creation to the point of death. Humility has probably been the most difficult of postures to acquire and greatest of personal struggles I’ve faced throughout life. Every time their is pride, wisdom is absent
