back to school

Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
    on a level path. Psalm 143:10
- - - -

though never really
good
at math, i still use
the basics: figuring out mpg,
balancing the checkbook,
making sure the cashier is
correct;

though it did not end
up being my major, i enjoy
non-fiction books
about historical
events,
people,
places;

and while a yellow legal pad
and a pen
are my preferred tools,
i have learned (mostly
self-taught)
the ins and outs
of processing words;

so
why am i so
reluctant
to be a life-long learner
about
grace,
forgiveness,
hope,
reconciliation,
your will as well as your
wonders
and
everything else you
long to teach
me?
