Voskamp VI: Learning

Beautiful passage in Voskamp.  I read something last night about how adult learning necessitates sensing there is never an end, that we keep learning.  Retirement has caused us to stop, maybe.  I learn every day.  I learned last night that I cannot trust my dogs but I also make unwise and hasty decisions.  My desire to see Nala run—a beautiful sight—overtook my wisdom and knowledge that she is ADD and won’t come when called, unless she is convinced I have food in my pocket.  

People often preach, Unconfessed Sin keeps us from God, from having our prayers answered.”  Maybe there is Biblical truth in that, but it’s only known and harbored sin.  As we grow, we see sins we didn’t know were there.  I am more conscious of certain sins that were there before but I didn’t see them—my racism, for one.
