 And it takes a very wise man to admit that!

No, the fear of the Lord is merely the beginning of wisdom.

My oldest son will be leaving from CLE to head back to Korea on Sunday morning. I probably won't be taking him though. I'll have to catch you next time around. Actually he is going from CLE to ATL and then on to Seoul.

We voted the exact same way and I agree.
As an example, I am almost done with me 2nd degree in computers. First was programming and this is Network Security. I feel like I know LESS about computers now then when I started 20 years ago!

Based on the responses.... if preachers do not automatically have special wisdom, then why do people assume that they know what is best in their personal lives and turn to them for counseling and advice?
