Three Powerful Words: The Weekly Mentor

 "You don't know?" Meri asked me in shock.

"You don't know?" The incredulous look on her face made me laugh.

"Daddy, you don't know?" she repeated for the third time.

Then she cocked her head in a way only a 9 year-old girl can do, and her face changed from astonishment to a look that said, "Now I'm going to give you a lecture."

She began. "Dad, every father should know that. I mean, if you don't know that, what else don't you know?"

She stopped when she said this, like it was the first time she had considered this idea.

I laughed again, and said, "Actually, there is a lot more that I don't know than what I do know. Only God knows everything, and even the smartest human being doesn't know very much at all. That's why learning is so fun, because it never ends. We just get to keep on learning our whole lives."
