By: Brian Harris A few weeks back I alerted you to my ‘proverbs project ‘– spring boarding from the thirty sayings that start in Proverbs 22:20. This weeks saying? “Know your name.”Some background…A few months ago I was fooled into attending a time share presentation. Yes, Rosemary and I did get a free meal at the resort in payment for 3 hours of our lives that will never come back, but my, it was rather a trial. Of greater interest to me, however, was the person trying to sell the time share to us.

For many people, a pigeon is a messy, sometimes noisy urban bird that fouls buildings and statues, whereas a dove is a noble bird that symbolizes peace and love. But, in fact, “pigeon” and “dove” are simply common names for members of the Columbidae family of birds and, although “pigeon” is often the label of the larger species, the names are used interchangeably. This group has a couple of interesting characteristics that set them apart from most other bird species.

By: Brian Harris If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that I’ve made a start on developing some of my own proverbs and sayings. They are supposed to be wise and helpful, and perhaps you have found them so. But sometimes sayings can be really annoying – especially if they are trotted out when its too late to do much about them. I know “a stitch in time saves nine” but please don’t remind me of that when I face a huge repair bill because I forgot to get the car’s routine maintenance done.

We sometimes think everything would change if we managed to get a major breakthrough in some troubling area of our life. We long for a slam dunk moment after which success is assured and all will be well. Perhaps it’s an investment that turns out to be a goldmine, or a new breathing technique that assures us we will be able to say goodbye to anxiety, or a magical combination of foods that mean calories no longer count. We long for that single step which will solve all.

I’m a big picture person. Perhaps it goes back to my days in the chess team at school, but as any chess player will tell you, you’ve got to play the game forward. You are always asking, “If I do this and they do that, then what. But what if they don’t, and do that instead…” and so it goes on. Before every move you brainstorm in dozens of different directions before you commit and move your queen three spaces to the right.
