People are the ones who decide who will be relegated to the dustbin of History unfavorably and who will wear a crown so to speak. Know any so-called historical figures in our day who fit into those categories?

To adopt that as a faith stance is to anticipate blessings and recognize them as "grace moments" as opposed to chasing after more worldly things.

Would appreciate any ruminations you care to add to this reflective stew. I admit and give fair warning I have not been taken up into the wisdom of Proverbs over the years as I have with the Psalms. Yet I think there are nuggets of wisdom to be mined for reflection in our meditative study of the Bible.
