I am one of those life-long learners. It has served me well in life. If I was living 100 years earlier, I could be a teacher, a nurse, or an exercise therapist. But to get the diploma needed today costs a fortune, so I'll be content with letting it guide me in life. Great article!
I agree. I have learned far more outside of formal education than I ever learned in it. I credit my enthusiasm for reading. Since I was in grade school I have always devoured books on almost any subject that interests me. You can imagine my joy when the Internet out the world's knowledge at my fingertips. We should never stop learning.
Exactly, Jason. And that is why, in my opinion, you are able to write so prolifically about all the people and events you do on a daily basis. I love your stories. Appreciate your input.
I’m right there with you, Cork. We’re all life-long learners. However, while reading your post today, I was thinking about the necessity of a sabbath. There are times that I’m reading several books at a time. I’m always gaining knowledge. But I’ve found multitasking is not good for me. I need new learning “to marinate” for a minute or two. There are also times God reminds me to stop and just rest.
Great wisdom here, Cork. It struck me that we need knowledge, wisdom and understand AND all manner of workmanship. I think we learn more through our work than through our education. Making mistakes gives us wisdom, but all true wisdom is of God. The Bible is full of wisdom for us to acquire. Individual curiosity makes for powerful learning. I'm glad I still have that curiosity of the scriptures and of life itself.

Good point, Mike. Hadn’t thought through that one. Appreciate the input.
