back to school

Life is certainly an adventure. God made it this way. I mean, if we all knew what was going to happen next all of the time and in every circumstance life wouldn't be very exciting now would it. No, life is exciting because it is an adventure filled with dangers and risks and all kinds of surprises...some good!

Last Friday my wife and I were heading up to spend the weekend with her folks. We pass Lake Michigan College as always on the way up. On their marquee were the words "Sign up for Fall Classes Now!" This immediately prompted some thinking inside of me. I've always had enthusiasm or passion for computers and technology...computers to be more specific. When I was a college student trying to decide on what to major in, Computer Science was one consideration. I didn't know Jesus at the time and so I had no clear vision for my life. I wound up majoring in Psychology instead. Well now I'm impassioned to go back to school and get that Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I'm ready to engage a journey to learn more about something for which I have a passion. Indeed it will be a long journey. I don't know for sure where it will take me, but I know that I will come out gaining knowledge and wisdom that I never had before. I suppose you could say that the journey is more important than the destination.

To the journey!
