Come to a place that is filled with wonder, amazement, excitement, beauty, fear, adventure, heroic selflessness, and occasionally, remarkable stupidity. Wisdom is practical and Proverbs are fun, that is the message of this book. |

How Did This Book Get Started?Years ago, I wrote a weekly column for a church newsletter. During the summer months there was often a shortage of news items to fill the space. On a whim I wrote a story from my own childhood where I would have benefited from a bit of wisdom.
Folks responded to that story better than the 'news and information' that I was usually providing. On the weeks that there was a shortage of news I wrote stories. While there were occasionally news shortages there has never been a shortage of people acting foolish. |
