If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

James 1:5 (ESV)

“Books are what you step on to take you to a higher shelf. The higher your stack of books, the higher the shelf you can reach. Want to reach higher? Stack some more books under your feet! Reading is what brings us to new knowledge. It opens new doors. It helps us understand mysteries. It lets us hear from successful people. Reading is what takes us down the road in our journey. Everything you need for a better future and success has already been written.”

Jim Rohn

When it comes to asking, seeking and acquiring knowledge and wisdom I am doubly cursed.

  1. I am a man (Men don’t ask for help or directions, Duh!)
  2. I am old enough to have learned it all. (Well, I am old just ask my grandkids)

Oh yeah, just to add I am this hermit, farmer. (Most days I talk to dogs, cats and cows)

So. . . Where do I turn when I really need help?
