Me: That looks like a lot of studying!
Prodigal: Yes it is. I am trying to learn more.
Me: Well I can share something to think about.
This is from the book The Secret of Happiness by Billy Graham
We can put a public school and a university in the middle of every block of every city in America–but we will never keep America from rotting morally by mere intellectual education. Education cannot be properly called education which neglects the most important aspects of man’s nature. Partial education throughout the world is far worse than none at all if we educate the mind but not the soul.
Turn a half-educated man loose upon the world, put him in the community which inexhaustible resources at his command but recognizing no power higher than his own– he is a monstrosity! He is but halfway educated and is far more dangerous than if he were not educated al all. He is a speeding locomotive without an engineer. He is a tossing ship without a compass, pilot, or destiny.
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
