Keep Learning

School has just finished and the kids are out for the summer. Man, I remember those days! The days when I would think that going to school for nine months, just to get three months out, were torture. It wasn't necessarily the going to school; it was all that they wanted me to learn.

Don't get me wrong, learning is good. In my life, I have learned to walk, to talk, to tie my shoes, to dress myself, to handle finances, ALOT. But, when we are younger, we think it is killing us to have to learn all this stupid stuff; we can't see how it will benefit us later.

Today's word is 2 Peter 1:5, NIV, which reads, "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge."

It's important to keep learning. If we had stopped with the horse and buggy, we would never have had the vehicles we have today. If the Wright brothers had decided that kites flying were enough, we would never have had the air travel possibilities that we enjoy today. If we stop learning, we stop growing. If we stop growing, we die. It really is that simple.

So, don't be afraid to pick up that book and actually read it. Don't be afraid to watch a documentary, instead of "reality" television. Don't be afraid to listen to someone else's take on something. Add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge.

Be Blessed,
