As long as I can remember, I was always trying to get somewhere. I never seemed too happy in the spot I was in. I was pushing to get somewhere. Even when I arrived in the spot I was looking at, it never seemed to be enough. It was a never-ending circle of my own making. I am a smart guy and like to acquire knowledge. In high school, I read the entire World Book encyclopedia. Now it did help me in college, but that wasn’t what it was for. My search for knowledge was part avocation and part obsession. You see I am a teacher. Then when I had that concussion, everything got harder to do. It was because of the dyslexia cause by the concussion. My avocation became the obsession. I became a visual learner instead of an all-around one. I had to work hard to learn. But it still was an obsession. After special-education classes, I could read at my level again. When I graduated I worked off shore on a barge. I read three 1500 page novels back to back. Then when I come to the Lord, I asked Him to heal me of dyslexia. I wanted to read the bible without problems. God healed me. And for the next 25 years, I studied the Bible. And I learned a few things. That my knowledge doesn’t come anywhere close to God’s. I learned that He loves me without reservation. He is always willing to listen me no matter what. And He cares very much what happens to me. He gave me revelations about the bible and let me patent my book at the US Library of Congress. The first day I came to the Lord, I knew that I had arrived at the place I had been searching for all my life. And I am not going to move anywhere else. I still seek knowledge only to be used in God’s work. Selah.
