inward.

I attribute all of my wisdom to the examination of my soul. I challenge all who strive to become as wise as they possibly can, look inward not outward. It is within ourselves that we become humble and wise regarding the world. Remember, as soon as you begin to believe you are wiser than another you have lost the truth because you've looked outward instead of inward.

money.

Why is it that people today are so focused on money? Yes, it looks like it makes life easier. However, I would argue it makes life harder. It makes us become the very hypocrites I am trying so desperately to expose. I never took money for teaching. My knowledge is a gift from God. Therefore I share it freely as he would. I hope people today can use their gifts for good and not require a fee for it. There is a time and place for making money because it is necessary. However, it can very easily become the root of pride and hypocrisy. Use your gifts to serve as well. Serve others as God has served you.

snow.

When the first snowfall comes it really is a sight to see. It is like a blanket of purity. The kind of purity many strive for in their lives. If we could only look at ourselves at the end of every day and see ourselves white as snow. As I walk through the brand new blanket of snow that covers all, the sun glimmers so brightly I am almost blinded. How incredible nature is. We owe all of natures gift to the all-knowing God. Perfection is only in him.
