Too many times

I think that we too many times let an opportunity pass without saying something important.

Yesterday I sent a message to my High School Teacher. I wrote in it how much he made a difference in my life. He had a disciplinary structure that motivated me to do better in school. The way he taught was also a bonus. The process he used, made me organize my thinking. Changing the way I saw myself and the way I processed what I learned.

I didn't focus so much on what I was learning but how I was learning it.

I think maybe in some way it prepared for the time when I learned what Jesus taught in the bible, it made me more aware of the way he taught. The way he taught gives us some insight into Gods character. His character shows us the parables that he used to illustrate day to day situations. Allowing us to figure them out.

I always wondered why he taught in parables. I know why now. Do you?
