but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.

I think that it would be prudent to remember that everyone chooses what to do with their life. The life you lead, goes with you in eternity. Eternity is an unfathomable amount of time. So, what to do, what to do? Think about it very carefully! God is a Mighty Fortress. He will not be shaken. He offers love like no other. Matthew 12:34: "The mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart." God has spoken in His Holy Book. Are you listening?
