July 14 - Jewels

Ran 5 miles today in place of running the Crazy 8's tonight in Kingsport. It feels so good to be home with my wife at 10:00 at night and $50 in our pocket. I did improve by about 4 minutes on my 5 mile time from last year on an even harder route. 

Proverbs 20:15

15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. 

Saving up money and possessions are good, especially with the economy the way it is. However, having and nurturing a knowledge AND understanding of God's Word is far more important. Life is more meaningful and worthwhile when abiding in the purpose of God's will. Everything we need to know is within the 66 books of the Bible and from there, we are to share it with others. God's love and word is a fine jewel...we can either store it away and never let it shine...or we can reveal to others that His love and word are bigger and better than anything we could ever put in our wallet or deposit box.

Bling.
