Ants’hillvania – Proverbious – Day 31 – Proverbs 6:6-11
01/02/2013Let me be real with you. I’ve not wanted to write this post. I’m not the kind of guy that you’d be able to compare to an ant. I’m the other guy in the story. I always have been, and I probably always will be. At least when it comes to my natural bent. I […]

Chew Your Leg Out Of That Bear Trap – Proverbious – Day 30 – Proverbs 6:1-5
31/01/2013A few months ago – actually years – before we had our first child, we decided we needed a new car. We had two cars, a ’95 Jeep Cherokee and a ’92 Plymouth Sundance. It was also 2006, so our newest car was 11 years old. And, I was making a 120 mile round trip […]

High School Sweethearts – Proverbious – Day 29 – Proverbs 5:18-23
30/01/2013I am blessed with an amazing heritage from both my parents and their parents. They are all amazing people who have been astounding examples to their families and the effect of their lives will be long-lived. They were not perfect, nor are our families. But, each in their own way, set amazing examples for us […]

Sippy Cup Sharing – Proverbious – Day 28 – Proverbs 5:15-17
29/01/2013Sippy cups are a great thing. I remember the ones we had when I was a kid. They were the Tupperware kind. They had a snap on lid that was pretty hard to get on – so chances were pretty good that you were going to spill the whole cup of juice trying to get […]

Nickname of Infamy – Proverbious – Day 27 – Proverbs 5:12-14
28/01/2013There was one day in my freshman year of high school that would be forgotten (or blocked out) as most of them are if I had listened to my sister’s advice. And after I experienced this day, I really wish I had listened. Really, really. If you grew up in a family without a lot […]

The Man – Proverbious – Day 26 – Proverbs 5:7-11
27/01/2013The Man. We’ve all been a pawn in his scheme at some point in time. Victims of the endless profiteering and prisoners beneath the fist of iron. Whether it was suffering through the public school system, the ridiculous gen ed. requirements for a Bachelor’s Degree, insurmountable interest on ill-advised debt or slaving away the best […]

Time Share Seductress – Proverbious – Day 25 – Proverbs 5:1-6
26/01/2013Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a prepaid hotel at thousands of locations around the world? I mean, seriously, who wouldn’t want that? And the deal sounds so good. On the surface. Get a free trip to Las Vegas just for listening to our sales pitch. Seems so simple. I have no problem telling someone […]

Blinders on Clydesdales – Proverbious – Day 24 – Proverbs 4:20-27
25/01/2013Chances are pretty good that most of you who read this post won’t know much about horses. That’s good, because I don’t either. However, there are a couple of things I do know. They are powerful, fast, strong and easily spooked. They have been extremely useful throughout history because of their speed and strength, but […]

Lou’s Diner and the toy that won’t shut off – Proverbious – Day 23 – Proverbs 4:14-19
23/01/2013I hope that by this point in this series you are really starting to develop some separation between the ways of the wicked and the ways of the righteous. I know that I am. It’s getting easier and easier for me to visualize the wicked. Especially in this passage. “They cannot sleep unless they cause […]

Biggest Loser Wisdom – Proverbious – Day 22 – Proverbs 4:11-13
22/01/2013We are fans of “The Biggest Loser” in our house. We love the stories and seeing people truly regain their lives. It’s amazing to see someone go from being near death to being healthier than the average American in a short time. There is a short segment they did on the show for a couple […]

Burger King Crown – Proverbious – Day 21 – Proverbs 4:7-10
21/01/2013Who doesn’t love wearing a Burger King crown? The only problem is, it’s not a real crown. And, when you’re wearing it you’re just a big billboard for Burger King. It would be a lot more fun to wear if it was made of real gold and jewels. Well, probably not more fun. It seems […]

Junk Email – Proverbious – Day 20 – Proverbs 4:1-6
21/01/2013I have had several email addresses in my lifetime. I started way back in the day with hotmail. Then, I got a gmail account. Shortly after that I started messing around with email addresses associated with my own domain name. One of the reasons I will abandon an account is that it gets on junk […]

Wisdom’s Dividends – Proverbious – Day 19 – Proverbs 3:33-35
20/01/2013Humility. It’s not a concept we hear much about these days. It’s certainly not a value that is lauded by present society. Everywhere we turn there is someone getting attention who likes it just a little too much. In fact, I would say there are far too many people who are addicted to attention. The […]

A Waste of Good Fries – Proverbious – Day 18 – Proverbs 3:27-32
19/01/2013“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” – John Wesley. I don’t know about your town, but around here we […]

Preppers – Proverbious – Day 17 – Proverbs 3:21-26
18/01/2013I seem to be on a roll when it comes to making admissions into the depths of my soul, so I figured I’d just keep it going today! So, I’ll admit, that if we had the money and the space (and it wouldn’t cost me my wife…), I would build a bomb shelter and fill […]

Proverbious – Day 16 – Proverbs 3:19-20 – 2 Plus 2 Equals Cat
16/01/2013This whole section of this chapter (Vs. 13-26) is about the blessings we receive from having wisdom. It’s amazing to think that blessings could be received from obtaining something that is free. At least in the sense that you can’t buy it with money. Just take a look at the blessings that have been discussed […]

Proverbious – Day 15 – Proverbs 3:16-18 – Tree Hugger
15/01/2013They’re passionate people aren’t they? I mean, how many people do you know who love something so much they would be willing to chain themselves to it. I really like my Keurig, but not enough to risk my life for it. I can pretty much guarantee, if someone comes after my Keurig with bulldozer I […]

Proverbious – Day 14 – Proverbs 3:13-15 – Old Trucks and Weather Stations
14/01/2013I’m going to be very honest with your to start this edition. There are a couple of things that I’ve really wanted in my life that are proving to be the proverbial indian head penny. They are things that I’ve wanted for quite a while, but every time I start to get close to being […]

Proverbious – Day 13 – Proverbs 3:11-12 – Because I Love You
13/01/2013I don’t know how many of you are parents, or if you have parents, but I am one and I have some. Do you ever say or do you remember your parents saying, “I’m only doing this because I love you.” Even though what they’re doing doesn’t really feel like love at the time. Maybe […]

Have you ever chased one of those schemes? Ever been a part of a pyramid scheme or thought if you sold enough widgets and gizmos […]
