Euripides noted that, "cleverness is not wisdom."

It is not enough to know things or to be able to turn a phrase.

There is many a poor man who is clever, witty, and knowledgeable.

Worse yet, there is many a bright man or woman who is morally inept. Some, perish the thought, even use their wits to outwit the poor and oppress the weak.

Wisdom is moral knowledge. It is know what to do, how to do it, when to do it, why to do it, and then, doing it.

Solomon was held in awe because, " because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice."  (I Kings 3:28)

It is wonderful to be smart; it is better to be wise. 

(I am blogging while away by post dating my posts. I'll be at camp with a group of rowdy children from July 6-10 and on the road July 10-11 to a Toastmaster's training. Have a great week!)
