I Astound Myself

This morning while I was running, I began to contemplate myself, and my own brilliance amazes me.

At first, this seems like a conceited thing to say, but if I can explain it clearly, it isn't at all. Because the very next thing that occurred to me is that in the grand scheme of things, of all the billions and billions of souls who have or will inhabit this earth, I'm nothing particularly special. Just another Child of God.

Just another Child of God is not something you can say or contemplate lightly. People, because of our divine origins, are so deep that we could spend our entire lives just trying to truly understand one person and still never get to the very bottom of that person's character.

This is why only God could come up with a Plan that would fit each and every individual.

I guess I've been reading too much about educational theories and programs, and I'm still shocked at how almost all of them are still looking for the magic formula that will churn out smart, responsible kids like a factory churns out candy.

They need the Gospel.
