Me:\u00a0 That looks like a lot of studying!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes it is.\u00a0 I am trying to learn more.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well I can share something to think about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book The Secret of Happiness by Billy Graham<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can put a public school and a university in the middle of every block of every city in America–but we will never keep America from rotting morally by mere intellectual education.\u00a0 Education cannot be properly called education which neglects the most important aspects of man’s nature.\u00a0 Partial education throughout the world is far worse than none at all if we educate the mind but not the soul.<\/p>\n

Turn a half-educated man loose upon the world, put him in the community which inexhaustible resources at his command but recognizing no power higher than his own– he is a monstrosity!\u00a0 He is but halfway educated and is far more dangerous than if he were not educated al all.\u00a0 He is a speeding locomotive without an engineer.\u00a0 He is a tossing ship without a compass, pilot, or destiny.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mark 10:52<\/p>\n

And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.\u00a0 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.<\/p>\n
