I'm reading through Proverbs (sporadically) and today is the 15th, so I read Proverbs 15.
Needless to say, there are many gems stored in the words of the Proverbs, some more famous than others. Proverbs 15:1, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." is one my mom is quoting quite frequently... and it's good advice. I'll list a few more that I found noticeable.
v12 "Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise." (NIV)
v14 "The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.." (ESV)
v21 "Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, but a man of understanding walks straight ahead." (ESV)
v22 "Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed." (ESV) (One of my personal favorites)
v23 "A person finds joy in giving an apt reply--and how good is a timely word!" (NIV)
and finally, vv31-33
31 "The ear that listens to life-giving reproof
will dwell among the wise.
32 Whoever ignores instruction despises himself,
but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence.
33 The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor."

This week's adventures
This weeks adventures include School, Health Insurance, More school, and SNOW!
A brief summary: At the beginning of the week, I was working on my certification {Now on to Network+ and I've got my exam scheduled for Monday) and health insurance was at the back of my mind. Now I've been alerted to the fact that I really really need to get a job with good health insurance so that my regular diabetic supplies will be covered. I've compiled a list of options, but we'll see what they say. I've aslo had some interaction with representatives from USA+, a group insurance agency/broker with a really pushy manager... I mean really pushy. But that's beside the point. He'd mentioned that because I have a pre-existing condition, I'm "basically uninsurable on an individual plan". Which means that I need to get a group plan, which he would prefer that I get through them.
Also, I've gotten some leads on jobs, one through my boss's boss at Cold Stone. The owner of the store was in and we chatted for a little bit. He knows a guy who has his own consulting firm, and has said that I can send him my resume and he'll forward it on. I need to get on that soon!
In the meantime, we've figured out that the best option for me right now is to go back to shool. But this time, it's mainly for the status. If I'm a full-time student, I can stay on my parent's insurance, AND I won't have to start paying off my student loans for a bit, AND I get some extra knowledge from whatever community college classes I decide to attend. Should be fun. Of course I still need to be seeking options, but that may literally buy me some more time to get things set up, especially to get me an insulin pump.
That's all for now folks, I hope to be posing still more regularly as time rolls on. Cheers, and thanks for reading!
