'cos surely that's the basis of God's kingdom... <br /><br />I think it is in the books, as well as in life, but it's getting the right channels in place for the knowledge to be poured into (perhaps that's why we can't pursue study without the other disciplines putting in an appearance in our lives), so it can flow out into the right places (in our life and other people's), rather than just making us 'fat' on knowledge for it's own sake.... <br /><br />That may have been a bit of an incomprehensible stream of consciousness... oh well!!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094378948524075343noreply@blogger.com
