I am surrounded by resources. I own hundreds of books. I have the internet at my fingertips. I have good teaching from any number of sources. I have been learning for years. That only gets me so far though.
I can learn diligently from all the collective wisdom of the ages, but if I do not do anything with that it doesn't do me much good. In fact I am probably worse off because I know what has been done. I know what can be done. I know what I am called to. But if I still do nothing I might as well not have learned that all.
For the past few years I have not done much of anything that was outwardly directed. I have been focused on myself and my family. That's good, but you can't do just that forever. I think it is time for me to get involved and contribute to my church and community. I don't know exactly how I will do that, but it needs to become a thing.
