"Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."
2 Peter 3:17-18
This is cool... an appropriate warning I think, reminding us that no matter how solid we are in reaching towards heaven... if we stop growing, stop reaching, we can lose our balance and fall. And just like none of us want to go back and re-live elementary school... we don't want to fall and have to climb back up those rungs that we have already ascended. Sometimes it happens, and we get to know certain sections of the path very very well... but there is so much more to see, so much farther to go... let's not stay in one place just because of familiarity. Let's move onward, growing in grace and in our knowledge of God. He'll always help us find our way.
