DOING STUPID THINGS
We can't all escape it. We're all guilty of doing some kinds of stupid things. It's part of life I guess. When we're young we just don't really think. Although having fun can lead us into traps of danger and lure us into situations we later regret. We still wind up doing some stupid things.
I can sit and think of a few stupid things I've done. Not when I was young either! I've done stupid things in my adult life. I knew better! Still I did them only to result in facing the consequences of them later or even immediately after I'd done them.
People will tell you the older you are wiser you are, but [not calling any aged person stupid,] there's a closet full of stupid "Old people" They say and do stupid things and they too; know better. I take a long look at myself, and examine how I have grown up to not be so bad! I still sometimes I'll make a goofy choice, but I learn from it most rewardingly. This kind of experiences turns stupid into knowledge. Afterall, one shouldn't always be stupid! Goodness! I feel for that person who never learns any of life's lessons. Don't be stupid all your life! You can make good choices, and listen, learn and attribute to do what is right. These are the best choices to make above all!
I constantly ask help from God for his guidance, and correction. This so I can say, do, and act better. I'm not so stupid I can't recognize I need him to add correction in my life. Now, that's wisdom.
Proverbs 12: 1 [NIV]-- Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
This has been MY NEWS BLOG. I welcome your comments. What do you think
[This blog is also presented in Hometown Memphis: THEY KNOW BETTER in the news section]

Hello Ms. Shields,
Your blog has insight and an enlightening reminder to do the right thing all the time.
I do not want to taint your blog because it is wonderful, God does not have a gender. It just bothers me, personally speaking when someone refers to God as a man rather than just God.
Now, what you should want most from God for yourself and your people, Black Americans who are descendents of slaves? Is it complete independence on a portion of this continent or should we continue the course as is?
As much enlightenment as in this blog of yours, how much more enlightenment would you be exercising if only you would ask God to give you and your people complete freedom which is the same thing given to the Hebrew people when they were in bondage in Egypt.
Okay
