Every moment of my day, I am either being a wise woman building my house or I am being a foolish woman, tearing it down with my own hands. There is no in between. My desire is to be wise. To build my house, my family...but far to often I see that my attitude, my decisions, my selfishness displays my folly. I do not want to tear my house down...and certainly not with my own hands. What a danger there is in foolishness. This blog is to give me a place to share my journey from foolishness into wisdom, from house destroyer into house builder.

Cancer in the bones

Proverbs 12:4  A wife of noble character is her husband's crown,
       but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones

I once hear this verse described this way: a disgraceful wife is like cancer in her husband's bones.  A disease that makes him sick.

I would far rather be my husband's crown than be a disease that could bring him death; like decay in his bones.  I think this is such a graphic picture of the effect a wife can have on her husband.
