Today marks seven days since I’ve watched the television news. For a news junkie,

The greatness of partial knowledge
Proverbs 18:15 “The heart of the prudent gets knowledge and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
Proverbs 2:6 “For the Lord gives wisdom, out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
We’ve often heard the stories of when we were young; we thought we had all the answers. Knowing everything we needed to know, as time passed, we realized how great a wealth of knowledge exists in the world.

Our prisons must be full
Are we short on prison space in this country? We must be. It’s the only logical explanation for so many criminals being given probation instead of prison time.
