Further explanation

Webster says that a "sage" is "a very wise man; esp., an old man respected for his wisdom, experience, etc." It's not so much our wisdom as seniors and people of great experience; but,
rather the Biblical admonition that came to us some 14-plus years ago as we moved from our
last little mission church: "Hear counsel, and receive instruction that thou mayest be wise in
thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD,
that shall stand!" (Proverbs 19:20,21) Couple this with Proverbs 9:10 - "The fear of the LORD
is the beginning of wisdom...!" and you really begin to get the picture. Also, there is another kind of "sage" that takes me back to my teens, when helping my Dad in his store in Wallace the
farmers would come in to buy it to add to their hog sausage made in their fall butchering
process: "a plant of the mint family with grayish-green leaves used for flavoring meats, etc."
So, as we share thoughts with our readers on our blogsite we trust that it will add not only a little wisdom, but also some spice to your lives as well as ours! By the way, we want to thank our grandson David Taylor for his help in embarking on this awesome task.
