The idea is simple: whenever one of us learns something worth keeping, we write it down here so it stays in the family for a long time.\n\n# How to add an entry\n1. Click the **＋ Share Wisdom** button at the top.\n2. Give it a **title** — the lesson in a few words (e.g. \"Never go to bed on an argument\").\n3. **Write the story** — as long or short as you want.\n4. Tag one or more **topics** and pick a **type** so it's easy to find later.\n5. Add **photos** if you'd like, then hit **Save**.\n\nYour name and the date are filled in automatically from your Google account.\n\n# A simple format to follow\nThere's no wrong way to write, but if you want a starting point:\n> **What I learned:** the lesson in a sentence.\n> **The story behind it:** what happened that taught you this.\n> **Why it matters:** what you hope we take from it.\n\n---\nThat's it.

But the deeper lesson showed up everywhere after that — in words I said too fast, decisions I made without sleeping on them, emails I sent before rereading.\n> **Why it matters:** Most mistakes I regret came from moving quickly when I didn't need to.

The early church did life together — meeting, eating, praying, sharing everything (Acts 2:42–47). That kind of closeness doesn't happen by accident. You have to build it.\n\nA few things that actually work for me:\n- **Get coffee with a godly friend on purpose** — not just when it's convenient.\n- **Rose / Thorn / Buffalo** — share a high, a low, and something you're looking forward to. Gets you past small talk fast.\n- **Check in across the whole person**, not just one slice — Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Relational (**SPER**).\n\nDepth is built, not found.
