On Excellence
Just down the hall from my office, hanging on the wall, is a painting of Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.” I pass by this painting many times a day, but often I am rushing past. I am trying to get to class or chapel on time, or trying to connect with a student or teacher. When I do take the time to stop and consider the import of these words, the clean and clear direction of this verse, I find I am drawn specifically to the idea of excellence. It is a broad concept, not easily nailed down for me personally, for the school where I work, or for the students that I serve. Though I believe as well in being noble and in trying to be right and pure, excellence feels more aspirational to me, like something to be pursued no matter what has previously been accomplished.
