A Week Pursuing Knowledge
This has been a bad week for me in terms of blogging…okay it’s been a non-existent week for me in terms of blogging and for that I apologize. But I have a good excuse, I promise.
Over the last week I have been up to my neck in educational experiences. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was a part of a conflict coaching/mediation training put on by Peacemaker Ministries. Let me just say that it was one of the most intense and draining educational experiences I have ever had, and yet it was phenomenal.
Then Tuesday night I spent the evening hanging out with a bunch of great people at the final class for church membership at MVPC. Last night Monika and I were at our small group where we were again studying Peacemaking principles. And all the while I have been trying to play catchup on my current class for grad school, “Power, Change and Conflict Management.”
There is no doubt about the fact that I have been busy and have neglected the the blog, but truthfully, I think sometime we need to do that. We need to be okay disengaging from our blogs or Facebook, or Twitter. Especially when it allows us to pursue personal growth.
It’s all too easy to finish high school or college and think that you have done your time and now you can stop learning. But the truth of the matter is the pursuit of knowledge is essential to our growth as people. Whether it’s through reading books on your own, attending a seminar or going to back to school, the world around us is constantly changing and the only way we can keep up is by continuing to have a hunger for new information.
So I hope that you’ll forgive me for neglecting you, my faithful readers, for the last several days. I have had some incredible opportunities to learn and grow and for the sake of my sanity, something had to give.
With that being said, I’m back and I can’t wait to share with you this week’s Friday Feature.
