Emphasis Preaching Journal

Movie actress Bette Davis once said about her father: "Daddy in his infinite knowledge always saw the roots and not the flowers. He took all the watches of the world apart, and never knew what time it was."

What I think that she meant by these words was that her father liked to dabble with things here and there. He liked to analyze and liked to take things apart, like watches, but he did not understand the meaning behind things. He never really committed himself to a way of life.
