Grafitti. Mailbox bashing. Toilet papering. Car scratching. Paint balling. Lawn driving. Traffic sign breakage. Window breaking.

Lots and lots of ways to do mischief.

Lots and lots of ways to have fun.

Lots and lots of ways to reveal a lack of wisdom and understanding.

“It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom” (23).

“The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable…” (32).

So do his heart and brain.

And that’s the kind of heart, brain, and lips I want God to develop in me!
