Betsy Guerra explores a pastor's distinction between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Knowing that texting while driving is unsafe is just information. Understanding happens when it becomes personal, when you've lived it and it changes how you act.

Chapters

I once heard a pastor talk about knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Knowledge is having information. Knowing that texting and driving is not good is not enough for you to never text and drive and avoid a tragedy. Knowing is just the information. Now, understanding is when that information becomes personal. You didn't just study it in a book, you lived it. You understand it. If I, God forbid, have an accident because I'm texting and driving and I hurt somebody, I will understand better than anybody that texting and driving is not good. I knew that already. I know texting and driving is no bueno, but I'm gonna understand it differently.
