I Have Not Been Educated

Have you been educated in the one thing that matters?  Kysha posted this great poem, which I have already printed out and posted on my refrigerator.  See her blog for the rest of it.

I Have Not Been Educated
by Carolyn Caines

If I learn my ABCs, can read 600 words per minute, and can write with perfect penmanship, but have not been shown how to communicate with the Designer of all language .... I HAVE NOT BEEN EDUCATED.

If I can deliver an eloquent speech and persuade you with my stunning logic, but have not been instructed in God's wisdom.... I HAVE NOT BEEN EDUCATED.

If I read Shakespeare and John Locke and can discuss their writings with keen insight, but have not read the greatest of all books -- the Bible -- and have no knowledge of its personal importance... I HAVE NOT BEEN EDUCATED.  (cont'd).....


Thank you, Daisy, for the tip!
