Kelly - Proverbs 4

This is one of those times when the metaphors of the Bible - no matter how beautiful they may be - serve as a bit of a stumbling block for me.

My mind is usually able to get around the references to "man" (meaning mankind, meaning humans). And sometimes I can deal with being referred to as "son." But today I am reading words to "son" about embracing "woman wisdom"- esteem her, pursue her, and she will honor you. These words probably mean more to the guys than they do to me.
