Wizdom - Some Have it Some don't...

1 Kings 3:16 - Wisdom.

Now two came to the king and stood before him. One of them said, "My lord, this woman and I live in the same house. I had a baby while she was there with me. The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. "During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him. So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne."The other woman said, "No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours." But the first one insisted, "No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine." And so they argued before the king.The king said, "This one says, 'My son is alive and your son is dead,' while that one says, 'No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.' "Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: "Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other." The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, "Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" But the other said, "Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two! "Then the king gave his ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother."

In the end, Freeholder Little decided not to run. Instead of splitting the Monmouth GOP and destroying the party she loved, she handed it over to the chairman and saved it. The question will be "Will the Republicans of Monmouth County give it back to her?" Some have said this is the end of Freeholder Little. I think it is not the end... only a very fiery beginning. We should all embrace her strength and thank her for taking the right path. Now it is left up to all of us. Will we stay home? Will we play follow the leader? Will we try to fix what we think is broken? Only time will tell.
