Growing up, people would always say "You learn something new each day.". Well; I am learning that it is true. The word New, means "lately coming into knowledge, fresh or unused, unaccustomed, or recently/lately". So it doesn't necessarily mean that you have never before heard something but that it has now finally become knowledge. And the word Learn means “to gain by experience, to become informed of or acquainted with". So really the new thing I/we learn is just some fresh information. Or it can also be something that we are unaccustomed to that we gain by experience. I don't believe that when you hear something you learn it. You learn it once you can apply it physically or mentally. You learn it once you understand it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we come to realize things on certain days for a reason. So everyday I will be sharing with you the new thing that I learn or realize, hoping that you can learn from it as I did.

Feel free to comment or even post about your own realization or new thing that was learned.

We thought we knew. We never knew.

I spent a couple of hours hanging out with friends discussing different opinions on theology and life in general. During the discussion I realized how much we think we know about things and stick firm with it without ever hearing the other side to things. Even if we don't state our opinion and just listen to everyone else we would learn so much as long as it is with an open mind. A lot of the times we just take what we know and live off of it. We don't take the time to hear other people or to learn how things could be done. By learning from other people we can either learn the truth about topics or realize that we were right and have more ground to stand firm.
