One of the highlights of every day that I live is to spend a portion of it in the company of wise men and women. I do this in person, but predominantly I spend time with them in the form of the written or spoken word. This morning I’m spending it in the company of [...]
‘The way of life winds upward for the wise.’ Proverbs 15:24 I have lived long enough to see the results of a wise life and the fruit of a foolish life. A wise life continues to wind up higher and higher and higher, whereas a fool’s life is symbolised by the winding down effects that [...]
