Fun Stuff...

I took this test... and here are my results, which I am quite frankly rather proud of... I am nerdier than 93% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!

Wisdom - Redeemed by the Word

Wisdom….(Only comes from God, so let a man ask of God who gives to all men liberally)

Each of us are CEO’s of our lives. We have executive authority, but the real owners are all those who have invested in us. (This sounds sorta Hallmarky... and is really heresy, since if we are Christians, we are owned by Christ, who bought the controlling share with His precious blood)

Home is where the memories are. (Or maybe Home is where we make the memories)

Great wealth easily gained is more of a curse than a blessing. (Abram was the notable exception where weath was a blessing....)

Hope = 1pint of delusion+ 1 gallon of determination (This is sorta sarcastic... and not entirely Biblical)

Three rules to life:

1. Nothing stays as it is. (Change is constant, just look at Joseph's life... I doubt he saw it coming, the life he was going to lead... going from favored son, down to slave, and then up to powerful servant, and then back down to prisoner, and then up to second in command over the most powerful nation on earth [at that time])

2. Nothing is perfectly pure - Not good nor evil. (In the world of men, this is true. No man (or woman) is perfectly good, but thankfully, in this life, no man is ever beyond repair [through salvation by Christ] either.)

3. To be different is to be lonely. (Gen 2:18 - it isn't God's plan... but taken another way: "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:19 NKJV)

Most of us would rather take a sweet lie than a bitter truth, but we don’t realize the lie has a bitter aftertaste or that the bitterness of the truth only makes it that much sweeter afterward. 14that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- 16from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4: 14-16 (NKJV)
