Back To Home Page To Archives - Spring of Life - H. Roger Bothwell Undiscovered Territory Columbus set out to find a sea route to the Far East. Instead he found the Americas. Charles Goodyear discovered vulcanized rubber because he accidentally left rubber mixed with sulfur on a hotplate. In 1898 the Kellogg brothers unintentionally left a mass of cooked wheat overnight. In the morning they tried to roll it and suddenly had a plate of Wheaties. College professors are great a planning ahead. We are required to give each student a syllabus at the beginning of each semester. The syllabus is a plan for completing the course with dates, reading assignments and exams all planned ahead. Sometimes professors leave the classroom and step down to become administrators. They are used to planning ahead and thus lay out wonderful long range plans for their institution. Rarely do those plans come to fruition. This isn't because they are not well thought out. It's just that so many unforeseen variables occur on a regular basis. This is the way the world works. Therefore if you are brave soul that loves adventure I encourage you to make some type of plan for studying God's Word. Have a goal in mind and jump in. If you like surprises you are bound to have one. The Holy Spirit will take your mind to places you never dreamed possible. You will discover new insights. You will sit in wonder as undiscovered mental countries unfold for you as God leads you into His domain. Each Gospel, each letter of Paul will be like opening up a new copy of National Geographic that will show you things from afar.
