[The following is a reprint of my blog of August 17, 2009.]
This past weekend, I heard Bobby Kennedy, Jr., remembering his Aunt Eunice and speaking of what a gift she was. I do not remember what he was specifically saying when, in the midst, he uttered a simple, almost throw-away, line: “Wisdom is simply knowing God’s will.”
With my gift for complicating anything, I’ve tried to explain that more fully, flesh it out so to speak. Not for the first time, I see that the more I try to explain a simple truth, the more I personalize it. Then it is no longer a simple truth, it has become my opinion.
“Wisdom is simply knowing God’s will.”
Thank you.
