I recently started to write for a monthly devotional publication – Living Life: A Journal of Spiritual Formation & Reflection (It is published by Duranno and the English version is translated into Spanish and Russian), and guess what I’ve discovered about myself?

In the midst of impending fatherhood, nearly full-time studies, and full-time ministry work, one would think that I lacked the time to learn and pursue other interests. Yet that is the crux of the Learner – I will never stop learning. My desire to learn will never be satisfied.

competition vs. achiever
Some of you may not know, but I am an intense believer in the Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment. Now I know the stigma that veils many assessments (i.e. assessments aren’t accurate, it will box me in, etc), but this StrengthsFinder assessment is extremely different.
