excellence.

Devotional yesterday: attaining excellence, working towards excellence, being excellent. What is excellence? Wordnet.princeton.edu defines excellent as "very good; of the highest quality" and excellence as "an outstanding feature; something in which something or someone excels". So I need to try and be of the highest quality, not just attain my goals, but try to excel in the way I attain them. I like this.

Today I had a hard time going to class, a very hard time. Devon forced me into it against my will and I went and as I did I thought about this very concept. Am I showing the Lord that I can be excellent? That I can be of the highest quality? That I am trying to attain excellence? and mostly...am I taking pride in what I stand for as a student? So I wasn't, but I need to. Mostly this was a reassessment, so sorry to everyone that had to read about my own reflections on whether or not I'm doing all I can, but maybe you can get something out of it. We don't have to be perfect now, but we should be on the path to perfection. So let's try a little harder, stand a little taller, and show the world what we're made of.
