Jordan - Proverbs 1

In the intro to proverbs, my Bible mentions that there are two groups in Proverbs.  The wise and the foolish.  I can already add a third, the simple, those who are prospects.  They might end up wise or end up foolish by refusing to seek out wisdom.

My Oma, who would have been 102 this past Feb, from the outside she might have seemed a simple person.   She kept the house and made sure that everyone was fed, bathed and in good behavior.  A mother of 16 and grandmother and greatmother to numbers rivaling Abraham, in truth, she was an amazing person.  Behind her loaves of bread and her thick german accent, she was a story teller, a war hero and the matriarch of the Krey family.  She was more wise than she led on.  I thank God for my Oma and I thank her for the wisdom that she bestowed on me and her family.
