 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. Proverbs 27:12 (NLT) The “prudent” person is always looking ahead, not with fear, but with foresight, to see if something is coming in life that may require them to make adjustments.

Had a great weekend. Other than the fact I left my window rolled down on the passenger side of my truck, while it poured rain all day Saturday. I found it open this morning. Can you say “shop-vac”! Ally had her 3rd Upward Basketball game of the season and first of the year. There weren’t [...]
