Folks, do you know what an expert is? They are just an ordinary "pert" away from home!

Sometimes we go running around looking for an expert who has the answer. Oft times the answer is within us if we just take time to listen to our hearts and minds. Even the Bible says that we go looking for God here and there and lo the kingdom of God is within us.

Now I am not knocking experts! There are many and they range from a person with an ordinary job to a rocket scientist.

We need people who really are knowledgeable in their field.

Be that as it may there are so called experts that can and do lead us down the wrong path.

This is especially true in the field of religion. There are so called experts today that advocate stoning a woman to death if she has committed adultery or even if she has been raped. Hmmmm. I seem to recall that Someone has said, "You who are without sin cast the first stone!"

So folks it depends on who our experts are! We had better choose them carefully!
