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. 

“…it’s continuity, or loyalty, or perseverance, or honor, or idealism, or any number of other firm and steady traits that we used to think of as “noble,” that is truly difficult. When we choose to forego the fleeting in the name of the enduring, we affirm what is deepest and most admirable in our humanity. But we also swim against the current. “
