"...And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

Discipline of the Mind

So I was writing my Systematic Theology paper for what seemed to be an eternity and a thought occurred to me...

Sometimes what we need to learn is not knowledge but a different perspective on what we already know...

I decided that my difficulty with the class was not an inability to understand the material because I did...it was learning to process it in a different way.

I really struggled with the systematicness of it...my natural thought pattern is not linear or logical. It's kind of loopy actually. So it will take discipline to learn how to think and write from this perspective.

Yeah...I'm not dumb!
