Simple Journey

I want to know a song can rise from the ashes of a broken life... --Mike Donehey, 10th Ave. N.

Knowledge...

"Take my instruction and not silver, and knowledge rather than choicest gold." Proverbs 8:10

"I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion." Proverbs 8:12

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10

I spoke with a woman at the party last night who is diabetic. The symptoms she described were exactly like John was when we first noticed the problem. Sweating, shaking, tics, weird thinking... She said he deserves to have a blood glucose test, not just a simple blood test, especially as we have a history of blood sugar problems in the family. I wonder if Dr. Pang would do it ... Or maybe it was a temporary thing that has resolved, but the drugs they all gave him caused the problems he is now stuck with.

Knowledge, knowledge... without it we are doomed to do horrible, unspeakable damage to our children! We depend on You, omniscient God, and You leave us adrift in a swindling world who acknowledges You none at all. I wish I could take just one bite of the apple from THAT tree, just enough to tell me exactly what is wrong with my son and just how to cure it!!

But I must leave it all to You, great and powerful One who chooses weakness.

Praise Your name.
