I am spending the evening browsing the web for various forms of seemingly useless knowledge and listening to the new Zoe Deschanel/ M. Ward project "she and him", which, in my opinion is absolutely amazing. I have decided that there is too much that I want to learn. I think of the most genius people in the world; Those few men and women who devote their entire lives to the task of becoming more knowledgeable. I think about these genius minds and realize that there is so much that even they still do not know.
There are stories that they have never been told, history they have never read, and skills they have yet to master. This blows me away to think about, and also makes me somewhat overwhelmed and frustrated.
There are a lot of times in my life in which I feel pretty lazy. I am by no means a work-a-holic. But there is a good amount of time that I do spend being overwhelmed by the intense desire to do more, learn more, read more, and listen more. I want to be able to outsmart anyone. I want to have endless stories, facts, and aticdotes to keep me entertaining for hours at a time. I wan't to learn more and I will. Every week for now on I will look back and ask myself, "what new thing do I know?"
LIVE
LOVE
YHWH
