"You dressed yourself today
didn't you?" My wife asked.
"Why, what's wrong?" I
asked as I looked in the mirror.
"You are not planning on
wearing that shirt and tie together are you?"
"Well yeah. I mean I wouldn't
have gone to all the effort of putting them on if I didn't."
"They don't go
together. You need to get a different
tie or a different shirt."
"I opt for the tie then,
there are a lot less buttons." At that point, my wife helped me pick out a
tie that matched. I guess I am not a good judge of colors. I learned that there
are blues that clash with other blues, greens that clash with other greens,
etc. Who'd a thunk it?
Every day, I have to make
judgments - is this a pear or a mango? A fig or a raisin? An apple or a tomato?
Poison ivy? Good company or bad company. Dirty clothes or clean clothes.
Appropriate attire or inappropriate. The Bible says I need to be able to judge
people. Who is trustworthy? Who is
honest? Who would make a good friend for my child? Who would be good for me to
befriend?
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20.
