The Glory

   The first day of my senior year, for the first class, I had to walk in my calculus class to start the day. We thought it would be like every other class, learning things to regurgitate them in the future, and then take a test and pass it. But boy did we have a surprise in store for us.
   The first day of calculus our teacher said, "babies (for some reason, that is what he calls us), up until this point, you could and probably have faked or memorized your way through school. Your teacher would tell you something, you would write it down, memorize it, and then take a test on it and pass. This is not this class, this is not how life works.  Its not regurgitation. Life is learning. This class is learning, and thats what you will do, learn how to think. Calculus is so broad, you cannot memorize yourself through this class, you must think."
   What was he telling us? He was saying that we were focusing on the wrong things. We were focused on passing a test instead of learning an actual subject of study. We did not really know what education is all about. Not focused on the right thing. We did not go to school to think, rather than to memorize.
   The Ultimate reason for everything is God's Glory. As we go through life, we should focus on doing everything for the Glory of God, not ourselves or anyone or anything else. Christ died for our sins, FOR GOD'S GLORY! The Love of Christ that we show to other people, FOR GODS GLORY! Taking the time to care for others, FOR GOD'S GLORY. EVERYTHING is for the Glory of God!! Let's live like it!
