My son Harrisen, who will be in 5th grade this year and who is not the biggest fan of school, can't believe that I'm still choosing to go to school. As I was preparing for yet another trip to Denver Seminary to continue work on my Doctor of Ministry he asked me, "What grade are you in?"
I counted on my fingers starting at twelve and lowered my head and said, "26th grade." Shouldn't I have already learned enough by now? The shallow answer: Yes! The more thoughtful answer: No. I want to follow the wisdom of those further down the road and make learning a lifelong pursuit. Does it cost? Yep! But it is so worth it! I've made some great friends over the years here in Denver from Alaska to Canada to Vermont to Rome (Georgia). I've been pressed to my limits. I've hated writing some papers and meeting deadlines. But it is worth it.
