TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Blessings to you all!
School. Whew! It's a lot of work. So why do it again? Learning never ends. The real question is what are we learning? God created us to learn, grow, share what we've learned, and then learn some more. I've often said "you can't give what you don't have." Whether we learn in a formal classroom setting, on-line (be careful), church, classes at work, or from a wise mentor or community sage, we should always look to expand our body of knowledge. It's never easy. It's time consuming, can be costly and even aggravating, but once achieved, no one can ever take away your knowledge. Knowledge is a tool to be used for the good of humanity, not only for self gain. However, knowledge without Divine wisdom can be extremely dangerous. Many with knowledge have used it to control, manipulate, and abuse others. Yes, even among believers, it happens. One must submit whatever is learned to the Spirit of God and be led by Him for instruction on how to use it. If formal training is not your thing, just read a book(s). Don't read well? Try audio books. Want a good book reading suggestion? Yep, you guessed it....the Bible. There you'll find 66 books. Love stories, thrillers, drama, action stories, history, poetry, proverbs, and books about the future ( but not the Jetson's version). If you're not seeking and controlling what you learn, trust me there is a vile spirit who will seek to control what you learn. He'll do it through the T.V. and other media, or even the common community, church or around the office gossip. By the way, some say life and experience is the best teacher, but really, many never learn from their experiences. I know the best teacher. Check out Mark 11:29.

TMI is doing well. I recently realized that God has blessed us with ten (10) ministers, not counting Pastor Dena and I. Wonder what God is up to! Pray for us, we're praying for you.
Pray also for God's Will and Grace as I begin to serve as an Adjunct Professor with Strayer University here in Atlanta.
