edifying

Here is a list of things that I think are edifying: reading, watching discovery/history channel, doing research, visiting the Valley of the Kings in Egept, talking to or working with some people . Do my examples have anything in common with the meaning of the word "edifying"?

Your explantions I find extremely edifying.

Every life story is not only interesting but also edifying.

For my edification I would love to visit the Valley of the Kings in Egept.

I truly have hard time understanding this word.

Your help I truly appriciate!

Hope

I especailly like this word, and you have used it correctly. Basically, it means to be 'built up' intellectually and spiritually. 'Built up' is used in the sense of being developed, broadened, deepened, enriched, strengthened, etc.

Watch the spelling. The word you want is-- persevere (pronounced: persehvear). It has four e's.

Not perserve, preserve, or perverse.
