the BEST teacher ever..

ok, so for my intersections class we had to read a bunch of articles about education, specifically "liberal arts" education... and while i was reading one article called "'Only Connect':The Goals of a Liberal Education" and i had to write a reflection about how it influenced my college expectations, but anyway the point of this is that the 10 qualities that the author argues are the traits of a liberally educated person, are almody identical to the qualities of a person seeking holiness through a relationship with Jesus Christ....
1. They listen and they hear
2. They read and they understand
3. They can talk with anyone
4. They can write clearly and persuasively and movingly
5. They can solve a wide variety of puzzles and problems
6. They respect rigor not so much for its own sake but as a way of seeking truth
7. They practice humility, tolerance, and self-criticism
8. They understand how to get things done in the world
9.They nurture and empower people around them
10. They follow E.M. Forster's injunction from "Howards End:'Only Connect.'"

These are not exactly worded the same, but the majority of them corespond to Jesus' teachings. It kind of hit me that God should be the one who educates me, not the world or even myself, but because God is all-knowing- He is the best teacher there was, is, and ever could be!!
