Because the school is designed to teach minds not yet fully developed. And when yours already is fully developed, it's hard to go back. <BR/><BR/>There should be different seminaries for older students that give credit for life experience and teach to the older students modality. Because I believe that we DO have a different modality at a "certain age".Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-60028126486694520172008-01-30T08:54:00.000-05:002008-01-30T08:54:00.000-05:00You've heard of (and experienced) delayed gratific...You've heard of (and experienced) delayed gratification, right?<BR/><BR/>This is similar. It's delayed contribution. You're storing up wisdom and knowledge and will be that much better when you are done.<BR/><BR/>You're a big spiritual/theological battery - on the charger at the moment.

Interestingly, several of the pipeliners pointed out what they have given up- the chance to do what we have already done. Nno maximum income potential for them, no trips around the globe like many of us have made. I too have been dismayed by the inability of my brain to be like it once was <BR/>( guess I never really noticed when I was doing variations on the same theme in my first career). I am wistful about the "I remember when" aspects of seeing the majority of my classmates. But..for what I gave up I have gained immeasurably. And I do not have to go out out on the internet for stories for sermons- because I can change the names to protect the innocent and use the stories of my life. I for one would gladly participate in an exchange of experiences. I would even be willing to host it at my place on a certain day of the week ( just not to conflict with the RevGals on Fridays).Law+Gospelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635380643783565043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-54467321791319980372008-01-29T23:58:00.000-05:002008-01-29T23:58:00.000-05:00...and maybe you've unearthed a need that you can ......and maybe you've unearthed a need that you can address.
