Comment on How to Become Good at Something by brad

I’ve thought a lot about this since you mentioned it and I think it’s right. I see it everyday in the classroom. We have students with natural intelligence and learning really is easier, or certainly performance of learning, but frankly 99.9% of what we do doesn’t require that high level of intelligence. Someone in the 25th percentile for inborne aptitude can dominate with the right education and hard work. Outside of a few theorists in a corner of a few universities (and most of their work is unnecessary), anyone can do anything. There’s a quote I heard a while back and I think it’s very true: you can anything you want, but you can’t do everything you want. Keep writing. Good stuff.

Hi, I was thinking of going to a 3 day seminar with John Crowder but I read all these posts that he is evil. I like to feel the ecstacy of the Lord.

How did you like his seminar? Did you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit?

Can you drop me an email to let me know at the email I listed. Thank you

James, I think you are “spot on” in regard to this topic. I cringe a little when I hear people say, “We are just sinners saved by grace.” I know what they mean, and we must always recognize our weaknesses and fleshly tendencies,but I think we need to speak to ourselves more that “We are more than conquerers through Christ who strengthens us.” Paul readily recognizes how sinful Christians are, but he does not call them sinners. That is what we once were. We are now new creations, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, etc. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are now free from the dominion of sin, although, we still must battle it, flee from it, reckon ourselves dead to it, etc. God bless.

Many churches in our city do this very thing. No planned program, just bring some meat to toss on the grill, a side dish to share, and have some good conversation one or two evenings a month. Coffee hour after Sunday worship is to promote community as well. We Christians have to be able to let our hair down with each other as well as worship and study together, for the reasons you cite.

I received a B.A. in Biological Studies in 97. My emphasis was genetics. I don’t know how people who have studies genetics can start to believe in evolution.

Hi James,
I was surprised too the first time I came across this !
De Jaeger sells its caviar in various countries at the following website: http://www.snail-caviar.co.uk
I was nicely surprised by its taste, it is quite nice, I would compare it to the top half of the best fish caviars you will find.
You will also find some videos in “You Tube”

AMEN! This is fantastic! I’m sending a link to my hubby and also going to have our almost 9 year old read it (he’s an advanced reader and needs to hear this too)…it’ll be a great conversation starter!
