Are We There Yet?
|
 As a boy when we loaded up the old Chevrolet to travel a distance it was quite an ordeal...
With
six children and mom and dad and a trunk full of luggage we filled that
old four door sedan. I remember we wouldn’t be too long gone before
someone would ask: “Are we there yet?” My dad, a
patient man, would cheerfully respond, “We’ve a ways to go, sit back
and enjoy the ride.” That would be just the beginning of that question
and answer being tossed back and forth from back seat to front seat.
You know how kids are.
I thought of that question while pondering
on how many students we have enrolled in the Bible Institute.
Thousands have begun the journey of study, but let me ask you—“Are we
there yet?” Have you finished all 102 courses? Have you felt that
exhilarated sensation of accomplishment? Can you see the end coming
into sight through your front windshield? Maybe you are thinking:
“We’ve a ways to go, sit back and enjoy the ride.”
If you are
not careful you can become distracted or sidetracked. Maybe you began
with the intent of only taking a few courses of interest. Why not set
your sights for the big finish? Maybe you began with excitement but
ran out of gas a ways down the road. Don’t give up! Worthwhile things
always demand time, work, persistence, and sacrifice. We want you to
be one of those who can point to the Diploma hanging on your wall and
say with the deserved pride of accomplishment: “I MADE IT! I got
there sooner than I thought I would.”
