Early yesterday morning I read the best column I’ve ever seen; penned by Miss M. Smallback. You Don’t Hate Your Government Enough – News With Views
I know Real Quality when I read it, so I tracked in M’s direction and straightaway found this:
It sure would be handy if You The People will read everything a Strong Hearted, CHRIST Centered Woman/Filly has to say. Thank you.
Miss M’s opening paragraphs:
According to Edgar Dale’s research, we retain about 5% of information we hear, 10% of information we read, 20% that we see, 50% we discuss, 75% we do and a whopping 90% we teach! So if you want to retain knowledge, DO it and TEACH it!
Teach it to your children, teach it to your friends, teach it to your peers, just teach! And then teach others to do the same. Ironically, this is the Great Commission and Jesus in His infinite wisdom covered this: “Go and make disciples [this is the DO part, which means you’ll retain 75% of what you’ve learned as Christ’s disciple by simply DOING it]…and teach them to obey …[this is the TEACH part. When we get to this point, we’ll really retain our learning!].
This can be applied to anything in life, really, right on down to the state of our nation. However, in order to get a better grip on this, it would help to understand cognitive biases. These biases can really short circuit our learning process. A bias is quite simply an inclination of the mind, the way a mind leans. Bias originates from “a weight on the side of a bowl which turns it from a straight line”. (From Webster’s 1828 dictionary) And if we’re honest, we’ll realize we all have biases. We all have minds that lean to our preferences, and our preferences are from our learning, our environment, our experiences, etc., so they vary.
Take for instance, the normalcy bias. This bias takes in what has been normal (usual) from our experiences. What we know as normal or usual, develops a bias in us for what we know, in other words, we lean toward what’s “normal” (or usual) for us. This is why children who grow up in abuse frequently abuse or turn to abusive partners. It’s the norm for them. This is why people who grow up in racist or prejudiced conditions think everyone is racist or prejudiced. The status quo in your life sets your mind to accept or receive your view of the status quo. This can be good, in that if your norm is healthy, you gravitate toward health; or it can be bad, in that if your norm is dysfunctional, that becomes your understanding. (M is a Clear Thinker and a Teacher.)
Update: How It’s Going Over Here In Western NC (& how you can help!) – YouTube Sarah and Brandon, a Quality CHRIST Centered Couple raised over $8,000 last week and have asked those who can, to support Samaritan’s Purse.
This isn’t the first time I’ve given to Samaritan’s Purse; and it is way past time for Franklin Graham and the rest of the “Church” to do Your Civic Duty. Fact: the church is in bed with the powers that be and has been since the irs came to be. Botton line: the church traded Truth for a tax exemption. Please smoke (huff and puff) on that for as long as you need to; until it sinks in.
Today’s pulpits: If the guvment said it, it has to be the truth. Knowing they too, are spewing lies. This guvment knows I’ve reached out to TBN/CBN time after time and made sure they received Top Quality Information from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
The church is doing a good job in Tennessee and North Carolina providing relief but has missed the boat on the Titanic, dropping three concrete and steel High Rises to murder thousands on 9/11. When the money hungry wolves dropped Building 7, WTC 7 that was an act of certified idiots, and many in the pulpits damn well know it.
After giving I received this: Thank you for your gift to Samaritan’s Purse. We greatly appreciate your support as we work worldwide to provide physical and spiritual aid to suffering people in the Name of Jesus Christ. Your generosity will enable us to continue sharing the love of Christ and the hope of the Gospel. Thank you again, and may God bless you.
So, Franklin answer this: What would JESUS Do?
Franklin, my Liege Lord is JESUS The CHRIST, can you name yours?
More to follow this evening.
