Education
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. -Richard SteeleReading allows me to enter into a world that I will never experience personally. I may never go to Iraq, sit in on a meeting with the president, or experience the life and times of Shakespeare, but through reading I am able to experience in my mind all the above and more. Reading helps me to see the future and understand the past. Dancing in God is timeless.Today I understand that my connection to the universe is nourished through education. I can know more than I can ever see or touch by the power of the word. On the matter of Jesus's birth, the apostle John wrote, "TheWord became flesh and made his dwelling among us." ( John 1:14) God's creation comes alive through education, and I am gratified. Spiritually I am at peace when I sit before a log fire, book in hand, with a nice glass of milk and a chocolate.
I love and appreciate the gift of literature.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On this day of your life, Neytiri & Jake, I believe God wants you to know...
...that morning comes every day; the sunrise does
not
fail, nor the
sunset.
Give it time. That
is all that may be required. Just give
it time. Do not try
to push the river. The cycles of life
present themselves,
play themselves out, and make
smooth every passage
and terrain.
Try not to get
caught up in your story of the moment.
Look, rather, to the
Long Story. Therein will be
found your peace.
The cycles will redeem this
moment, if you let
them, and even this shall pass.
