Patience and Wisdom Bring Peace (Prov. Part 1)

( Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs Part 1)

Wyogridley

I truly love the book of Proverbs. I had a hard time picking one of the many, many topics it speaks to. Finally, I just had to choose one in light of my concern about how folks treat each other so negatively at times on Pal Talk. These verses jumped out at me. I will simply let them speak for themselves…………Wyogridley
