Allen's Air Conditioning, Inc. gave us a raise. Red Rock Church of Christ supported us some more. Suddenly we had some extra means coming into our home. What should we do with it? Dave Ramsey was telling us to SAVE it ... good advice! Edward Jones encouraged us to INVEST it ... excellent suggestion! Since we had been living "hand to mouth" for so many years, we wanted to SPEND it! That extra income could be a new car payment! What should we do?
Michael was already out of school. Kayla was about to go into high school. We had heard so many good things about Mars Hill Bible School. We had heard that in addition to a good education, children were exposed to a rich spiritual environment. Public education offered a high quality education at no expense! Mars Hill Bible School would take that extra income ... and then some. We figured we would SAVE the extra money per week; SPEND it on an education; and view it as an INVESTMENT in Kayla's life. Whether it was the best thing to do, the wise thing to do, or even the right thing to do - that's what we did.
Education is always worth the investment. Solomon said it like this in Proverbs 20:15 "There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel." What will I learn today?
