Consider these words...


Consider these words:
     dense 
     dull
     obtuse
     foolish
     idiotic
     stupid
     silly
     mindless
     irrational
     unreasonable
     illogical
     unsound
     mad
     unperceptive 
     insane
     crazy
     brainless
     senseless
     preposterous

This list might well describe the characters and situations in the headlines - but these words didn't come to my mind after reading the daily news.  Rather, these are antonyms that dictionaries offer for the word wise.  How deeply do our world, our church and our own family and friendship circles hunger and thirst these days for a taste, a sip of wisdom.

The scriptures describe wisdom in the feminine, as we find here in this passage from the Book of Wisdom (7:22 - 8:1) where Solomon praises her many attributes...  Perhaps reading these words, studying them and praying them, might increase our appetite for the wisdom God offers us - and which we so much need to shape our thinking, our speech and our deeds...
