Today, I noticed something new in myself. I have become a bookworm! Perhaps my desire to know God more intimately and deeply is a main suspect as my research consists of 100% religion books. Little wonder, my mind formed an ambition to conquer a whole library and read all the religious books. It is not that I want to become clever and aristocratic. Rather, I desire to deepen my faith. "Faith seeks understanding" - St Ansem, Proslogion proemium. So the more I deepen my faith in God, the more I become wiser and understanding. Importantly, the rising of temperature of my spirituality is encouraged by the inspiration. Wow, I am even stupefied myself as I used to hate the books before when I was little kid. And even I frequently burn the midnight oil, reading with the support of the caffeine drinks.
"To have knowledge, you must first have reverence for the Lord." (Proverbs 1:7)
