Check it Out... Straight from Brooklyn!! I am Sam. Sam I am. Or, Sam am iz. I am a Biblical Studies Major, for now, and by His Grace I am actively pursuing to be the man that God has created me to be. In meeting this demand, I have chosen to be a writer of different disciplines that reflect my culture, maturing convictions, and my aesthetics in regards to art. I long to see the original Creator of the complex world who filled it with nature and humanity, who currently sustains creation’s existence, and who structured the world’s redemption and demonstrates it in history. I will see Him, the Creator in the image and form of the already glorified LORD Jesus Christ.

A world to cultivate.

With everything that happens in our little Langhorne Manor campus, it has always perplexed me how life does not wait for us to learn about it till it engages us. Our social lives, our work lives, our relationships and friendships are no respecters of our academic responsibilities. Bank Accounts demand our managing, bills have to be paid, and ministry at our local church must go on. Yet the time desired to hide in isolation and muse about what is taught in the classroom is always sought after and never found. The isolated ivory tower of academia is never removed from the world it seeks to hide from.

My main man Descartes was a man that believed that there are three possible Avenues to truth. Study of Letters (Books, and a Formal Education), Study of the book of the World (Life Experiences), and the knowledge of self. As I sit and think about what Descartes held to as conviction, I agree to an extent. Knowledge of self and the world is just as important as a formal education. A formal education only exposes how deep the issues of the humanities are and the people who contributed to various arguments. There only difference in my agreement with his views is that the Bible should inform all of our observations of the humanities, our life experiences and our knowledge of who we are.

The more I study, struggle, fail, plan, and pray, I find that if our education does not empower us to make firm decisions on how we live, it is not knowledge at all. Our responsibility to cultivate and work the earth to submission must stem from knowledge. That knowledge belongs and originates in the persons of God. Im convinced that I am ready to use whatever little knowledge I have to cultivate a life that contributes to society. A life that is an exemplar to the original design of what it is to be human. There are many dreams to work into reality. I am leaving the ivory tower and I am choosing to walk forward. It is time that we as students leave the observation tower and touch, feel, and experience true knowledge which is the interaction with God, His world and His people. Lets get dirty. Lets get to work.

Shout outs to Ed, Michael, and Earl. You are not displaced. You are humans who have showed me that the fallen systems of this world could never cultivate a man. A man cultivate systems. I am praying that the same graceful revelation that I have received bring you comfort where there are concrete slab, warmth of the soul in the midst of the wind stroking skin, and the hospitality of a family through a stranger. You live in a paradox. Keep your minds sharp and thank you for teaching me how to survive.

People look out for Law, Liberty, Love. and look out for Redemption's Theme. Its coming. As a man, I give ya'll my word.

Shout to my man Noah!!!!!! And shout outs to my new psychologist Liane!! (Just figured out I am a disordered eater). I always thought I was talking to blank unintelligent internet space. But running into people who have read my blog for a year straight have been encouraging to me. (You was right Mrs.Vasso !!)

First, those who haven't read the EduKation Blogs I put up last semester, please read them joints cause I'll be posting up the final one soon. So all in all, I got alot of catching up to do. Alot of credits to make up. Alot of dishes, pots and pans to wash over this semester. Please understand that I will share my life with you all so you all can see the joys and also the sacrifices you will have to endure to be a student of Philadelphia Biblical University. Signing out and Peace.
