Happy Tuesday!
Lucy Balsamo, our newest addition to the family… she was up all night, sick… so I got out of bed at 3:16am to write. If I’m going to be awake anyway, I might as well be productive. Lucy is Heavens newest puppy, a tan Chug (half Pug and half Chihuahua)… hyper and cute, when she is not trowing up ALL NIGHT LONG!
Yesterday, I received my most recent transcripts from Life Christian University and found that once my book is finished, I will have completed a GRAND total of 204 college credit hours… and I will have FINALLY achieved my Doctor of Ministry degree!
- Undergraduate Studies: 120 credit hours: GPA 3.73
- Graduate Studies: 36 credit hours: GPA 4.0
- Post Graduate Studies: 48 credit hours: GPA 4.0 (projected)
Not bad for a kid who barely made it out of high school… a real story of Gods GRACE! Check out the February 26, 2009 blog titled: Becoming a Super Student- 4 Life! It’ll make you want to READ SOMETHING… or sign up for night classes at a regional community college… or enroll in a business or nursing school or some kind of trade school… or become a Bible College student! (smile)
Great quotes about learning:
“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.” -Clay P. Bedford
“I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.” -Eartha Kitt
“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes
“I don’t think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.” -Abraham Lincoln
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.” -Henry Ford
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” -Alvin Toffler
Proverbs 1:5 Let the wise listen and ADD to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.
Proverbs 9:9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will ADD to his learning.
After my first book is published and after I have received my Doctorate from LCU… here’s what’s next for little Chucky:
- Continue reading a few books a month for the rest of my life!
- I’m going create a writing TEAM and publish book after book after book until we can’t write anymore!
- Maybe, I will take another 45 credit hours @ LCU to receive my PHD of Philosophy.
- Maybe, I will study law or biology… or something else that will help me better understand government, society, and certain intriguing aspects of our physical universe!
- Maybe, I will study for a degree in history!
- Maybe, I will learn classical piano!
- Maybe, I will study technology!
- Maybe, I will study new languages or I will learn to sign for the deaf!
- The more I learn, the more I wish to relate with and positively influence all kinds of peoples… I want to study CHARACTER and master it as well as I can as God works in my life!
- Above all other courses of study, I will continue my obsession for LEARNING and KNOWING GOD in the most personal kind of way… to LEARN everything a human can know about God BEFORE going to heaven!
One thing I will NEVER do… is stop learning! And neither should any of you good people! Let’s pray about todays blog… and see how God will INSPIRE us through it! I just prayed for you all… please leave your comments and have a most outstanding day!

Good morning everyone
God made us in such a way, that we are continually being stimulated through our senses. Our senses affect our mind, our body, and our spirit. The things we see, hear, smell, feel, touch, and taste shape us. We are continually processing and digesting information. We CHOOSE how we respond to that information… and we also choose IF we seek out more.
I want to keep my mind, a sharp instrument…ready for what is next.
I like the saying, “I want to wear out, not rust out.”
I want to be the Best me, that I can be.
I Love the idea of the writing team Chuck.
I have several books in me…that have yet to be birthed.
Have a wonderful, stimulated, motivated, blessed day in Jesus!
Thanks for the thought starter Chuck
And I am PROUD of you Pam Myers! Thanks for the Lucy prayers… she appreciates feeling better!
Caroline… I love the part where you said, “we CHOOSE how we respond to new information and we CHOOSE if we are going to SEEK out MORE!
Have a super day smarty tatys! LOL
Great post; I really enjoyed reading it. I especially loved this quote:
“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.” -Clay P. Bedford
I am in the process of becoming a teacher (waiting for my license and to get on the supply list) and it is so true. As teachers, no matter what or where we teach, we can not stop learning.
Nice to meet you Shelly! Happy teaching and WELCOME to my blog family!! Look forward to getting to know you and read your comments from time to time. Have a super weekend!!
