Is hope something that you normally hear associated with spankings? No, but it should be because proper child discipline is all about hope. Specifically, spanking a child is about correcting him while there is hope for him to receive that correction and become what he ought to be before he is older and hardened in his wicked ways. (Vol. 2, P.127) #proverbs #spanking

When we are told, as we often are by people who are overly pious and underly informed, that we are never to get angry, it rightly chafes us. Something inside of us knows that that cannot possibly be right. But then along comes another option, somewhere between “never get angry” and “always get angry.” That other option is “hold off just a bit on getting angry.” You see, if we defer anger, we can always go ahead and call it due if necessary. But if we defer anger, we may also end up finding out that it isn’t necessary at all. (Vol. 2, P.12 #proverbs #deferanger

Isaiah 42:10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

If you want to have family and friends enjoy seeing you coming rather than avoiding you like you have an infectious disease and are projectile vomiting it everywhere, make something of yourself. Work hard, have a budget, live below your means, save, invest, and be a contributor rather than a beggar. (Vol. 2, P.106) #proverbs #makesomethingofyourself
