There isn't a secret handshake, or a mysterious ritual or initiation. Learn from me. Be my friend. Walk with me. You don't need to go to graduate school.
Life is the school.
Daily living is where we learn what it's all about. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed . . Another way to read this morning's scripture is to say that we need to live our lives a little bit more out in the open . Life is too short to wait around to tell people that we care, or to do some of those good things that we're always thinking about. People move around too much, and kids grow up too fast, for us to take our time.
