24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
we had this exact verse a couple of days ago! Weird!
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
I think this one is interesting. I'm a little surprised by it. I thought we were supposed to be searching deeply for God. Trying to understand him and his ways. I can easily get trapped down in a philosophical discussion about what happened before Genesis. What was the existence of God and evil before the creation. But, if I'm not reading too much into this verse.....its saying we shouldn't do that. Perhaps its one of those things that you need to be careful not to get lost in, to the point that you don't have your eyes fixed on the right thing. I do understand that mindset.

i wasn't sure what to make of that either, maybe you're on to something. I have gotten better at realizing I won't understand fully until I'm with him in heaven and to let go of those things that can trip my faith up and focus on the truth I know.

and the Lord will reward you.
kill 'em with niceness was my take--maybe not how he'd like me to say it though huh.
