Wow! I’m back in school. This time for a Doctoral Degree. Why? Because It is necessary that I continue learning. I believe in getting a good education; and I want to set a good example for those who follow me. Now, I can set a good example without a doctoral degree. However, it is my personal goal to place the bar as high as I can get it in order for those coming behind to know that I did nothing on my own. All along, my journey has been tailored by God and I’m discovering that the higher I go the more He require of me.
Here are some more reasons for me to go back to school:
- I have two very smart children who are very interested in academics. I need to be an example for them.
- I have a church family to lead that is educated. As their pastor I should always be increasing in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Therefore, if there is a level of understanding that going back to school will give me then I think I should go get it, for their sakes.
- One day I will retire form pastoring. Whenever that happens I want to still teach God’s word. A doctoral degree will afford me the privilege to teach the bible at a college level.
- Now is as good as ever. This is a good season in my life to attend school. I have the time and motivation to do it.
Pray for me.
