Proverbs 13

The last few chapters have been pretty mundane as Kelly stated. If you are good this will happen if you are bad that will. I think by now I understand the message here. Enough already! But is there more to it? Am I missing the point?

Righteous is a word that is used many times in these last few chapters. When I think of this word I think of someone who never makes a mistake, above everyone else and sometimes looks down on others. So I looked the word up and here is the definition I found:

1. always behaving according to a religious or moral code

2. considered to be correct or justifiable

3. arising from the perception of great injustice or wrongdoing

4. good or outstanding (dated slang)

So maybe I was off base on the looking down on others but the rest of the definition rests on someone being always good! Anyway you look at it this is difficult to measure up to. I consider myself to be a good person but righteous? No. I guess we just have to try our best and hope we can make the right decisions and do the right thing.

The sun is finally shining and Matthew's basement can dry out! Thank the Lord!
