Food for the Soul-the pursuit of an enduring education

At just the moment I needed it most, God brought me to this wonderful essay on the value of an education that pursues the true, honorable, lovely, just and pure over the expedient, happy, self-fulfilling pursuits of much of our modern education.  Christian education is hard, very hard sometimes, but it is without a doubt what we are called to.  We are not only called to pursue Christ-centered education, we are privileged to do so.  Being a teacher and administrator has its ups and downs, but in the end I am so honored and humbled by the calling to aid others in the pursuit of wisdom and virtue. 

Please take a few minutes to enjoy the article “Whatsoever Things are True”  over at the Trinity Forum.  Here is a brief excerpt to whet your appetite.
