Wisdom Potluck
Last night our gathering was called “Starving for Wisdom”. The space during the service we call ‘Free Form’ involved writing words of wisdom on a blank dinner table setting. Here were some of the entries:
“Be the change you’d like to see… or be willing to entertain the idea that you could be the answer to your prayer.”
“Be quick to listen and slow to get angry.”
“There are big and little things.”
“Audacity, not talent is what you need to be a successful artist.”
“So he farked you over. Get over it.”
“…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control…”
“Trust”
“It all comes out in the wash.”
“Do or do not. There is no try.”
“To thine own self be true.”
“When life gives you lemons, throw them at the normals.”
“Roots of change and transformation are not found in self hatred.”
“It’s about the journey not the destination.”
“Love others.”
“Don’t go to sleep angry at your spouse. Talk it out. Work it out.”
“Choose your battles carefully.”
“Be willing to laugh at yourself.”
“Only women can turn an embryo into a boy, but only men can turn a boy into a man.”
“Don’t be afraid to speak and be wrong. Admit when you are wrong.”
“Laugh often.”
“Love, love, love.”
“With 1 mouth and two ears, it is good to listen twice as much as you talk.”
“Treasure (and serve) the wife of your youth.”
“Don’t poop where you sleep.”
“Don’t do anything you don’t mind reading about in the newspaper.”
“We aren’t making watches.”
“Live to the point of tears.”
“Up, not down.”
“When in doubt, do something. You can’t steer a bike that isn’t moving.”
“If you only love yourself, nobody can love you.”
“Listen to your heart. Seek balance and justice.”
“In the same way we relate to our children according to who they are (personality, character, love languages), our heavenly Father relates to us.”
“Cigars happen. Get over it.”
