Jerry and Sharon Graham have in some wondrous way connected me with Laura.  We’ve talked for a while and found a deep and abiding connection in Jesus.  Please visit Laura’s first post on her new blog using the link above.  You will be encouraged and will be an encouragement to Laura and her husband Bill.  My comments on Laura’s blog follow.

SPIRIT of Wisdom

Thank you Laura for opening my eyes wider than before with your words of wisdom.  Your writing style is very engaging.  What struck me most in Proverbs 8 as I read it again with your words was this part of your writing…”It’s not the wisdom of knowing everything, but knowing you don’t know, and connecting to the One who does.”  More often than not we think of wisdom as having knowledge.  You’ve done an incredible work in helping understanding that wisdom is also in having the awareness that we don’t know everything and that God is our source and He is all knowing.  I know this may sound elementary, but we often think that we are the wise person because of life experiences, education, connections and relationships with others.  What is truly remarkable is having the Spirit of Wisdom to Seek HIM First. Blessings and thank you for encouraging me when I hear your voice and read HIS Word. Brother Ben
