This was the Old Testament lesson today at church:
Proverbs 9: 1-6
Wisdom has built her house; she hewn her seven pillars.
She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed
her wine; she has set her table.
She has sent out her servant girls, she calls from
the highest places in the town, " You that are
simple, turn in here!"
To those without sense she says, "Come eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight."
What a wonderful passage. It spoke to me last night before I'd even heard it, because after a day slouching around in the house so miserable because of the heat, I thought that from now on, if I had my way, I'd just live for music and for art.
I'd build my pillars on them. I'd get rid of the junk.
I'd tidy up the stuff. I have no servant girls beyond my meager talents, but I'd send them out as I might. And they would tell those without sense of the wonderful life I had discovered. YAZZYBEL
