School days

Multiplying crayolas and soldierly glue bottles line shelves in Target, WalMart and Office Depot. Cute little pencil sharpeners and Disney-themed notebooks lie in the bins. Even dictionaries and thesauruses await the shopping basket. I am a sucker for colored paper clips, bright post-it notes, heart stickers and yellow legal pads even when I don't need them. All this reminds me of how much I miss being in a school environment. There is nothing so thrilling as a new notebook, a good pen, and a blank white page anticipating new information or a new idea. Lord, help me to be a daily student of your word and your actions.
