Warriors, it is good for us to manage our lives in a way that will work, doing what is right and just and fair. We gain knowledge and instruction as we grow in the grace and knowledge of Creator Yahweh. This knowledge comes through diligent study of the Sacred Writings and listening to the wisdom of respected elders. Reverence and worship of our Great Chief and Captain is the beginning of wisdom.

Let us not be led astray by people who do wrong and who entice us with the promise of “belonging.” Many of us went down this path when we were young. Now we must warn our young people of what is right and what is wrong.

It is enough to belong to the brotherhood of our people who have been adopted into the family of Creator Yahweh. Let us listen to the instruction of wise fathers and not forsake the teaching of our mothers. These teachings will be like a fragrant garland around our necks and a fine headdress upon our heads. Walking in wisdom will keep our feet on the Beauty Way.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Proverbs 1:1-7. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
