EDUCATION........

CHURCH THIS MONTH IS ABOUT CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES.......WE HAVE ALL BEEN OFFERED EDUCATION IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.....HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, ETC.

A MAN WAS OUT WALKING IN THE DESERT WHEN A VOICE SAID TO HIM....."PICK UP SOME PEBBLES AND PUT THEM IN YOUR POCKET, AND TOMORROW YOU WILL BE BOTH SORRY AND GLAD".......'THE MAN OBEYED.  HE STOOPED DOWN AND PICKED UP A HANDFUL OF PEBBLES AND PUT THEM IN HIS POCKET.  THE NEXT MORNING HE REACHED INTO HIS POCKET AND FOUND DIAMONDS, RUBIES AND EMERALS.  AND HE WAS BOTH GLAD AND SORRY.  GLAD THT HE HAD TAKEN SOME......SORRY HE HANDN"T TAKEN MORE"........AND SO IT IS WITH EDUCATION.

TODAY'S EDUCATION IS AS AVAILABLE TO YOU AS YOUR COMMITMENT TO IT. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT .....EDUCATION IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING LYING AROUND LOOSE IN THE WORLD, AND IT'S ABOUT THE ONLY THING A PERSON CAN HAVE AS MUCH OF AS HE IS WILLING TO HAUL AWAY......

WE SHOULD PROMISE OURSELVES TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY!  A NEW WORD AND IT'S MEANING.......A BETTER WAY TO INVEST OUR MONEY.....A NEW RULE FOR GOOD HEALTH.....A NEW TALENT, TO PAINT, SEW, KNIT ETC.  WE SHOULD NEVER STOP LEARNING!!!!
