Yesterday I had a very very short part in the 1st day of circuit assembly of Jehovah’s witnesses (the second time since a long long furlough so to speak). With my age, I have been assigned many tasks, faced different people, put into various situations that every now and then challenge my abilities and my whole personality. Yet, every one task after another that I did, I sigh with relief. I become more learned than before. This perhaps has also opened my mind wide. I am more open to suggestions from others, take their objective comments given in a blatant or tactful way. I could have been sensitive if it’s on the basis of education or other secular things. But I am grateful that I am still learning. Now, I come to realize that “the more you know, the more you know you don’t know.”
The demonstration that I did was all about social networking. I acted as a father which I really am. My 13 year old daughter in the demo is a an unbaptized publisher in the congregation I am connected. We don’t really look father and daughter. I am more a big brother to her, yet we delivered our demo successfully. The challenge on my part was I really couldn’t be good in a scripted presentation. I do a lot of spontaneous talks in the classroom (my friend yas can attest to that). When I give a brief talk in the theocratic ministry school, I prepare a small piece of paper written on it my outline. I am forgetful with scripts even during college years. Yet, that weakness is improved over time.
I thank those people who make me wiser than before. I thank for the opportunities to grow up in all human dimensions. They make my life meaningful!
