Wisdom '07

Knowledge and wisdom. Two different creatures but so closely related.

Knowledge - facts?

Wisdom - what you end up with when you process and sort through everyone's "facts". You hold them up to the hard-learned lessons you and the people around you learn while you're living. You watch. You listen to people who are wiser than you are. You make your choices. You apply what you learn to the next choice you make.

Youth culture runs the risk of missing out on this.

Sometimes Wisdom is in your face. Sometimes she's hard to find. She likes to hang out at intersections.

If I remember right, there's some home school material focused on learning wisdom. I don't remember much about it. I don't think I've ever seen a Sunday School curriculum that focused on teaching children wisdom.
