Shebna scraped the tablet clean and began drawing circles in the soft clay. "Suppose you had six figs and you ate two. How many would--" "Four."

Wisdom makes decisions today that will still be good tomorrow.

We have to put our hearts and our minds in places where wisdom gathers, not scatters.

We want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention.
