More Than Information
June 5, 2013

How is behavior altered? In his book The Social Animal, David Brooks notes that some experts have said people just need to be taught the long-term risks of bad behavior. For example, he writes: “Smoking can lead to cancer. Adultery destroys families, and lying destroys trust. The assumption was that once you reminded people of the foolishness of their behavior, they would be motivated to stop. Both reason and will are obviously important in making moral decisions and exercising self-control. But neither of these character models has proven very effective.” In other words, information alone is not powerful enough to transform behavior.

As Jesus’ followers, we want to grow and change spiritually. More than two millennia ago, Jesus told His disciples how that can happen. He said, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me” (John 15:4). Jesus is the Vine and we, His followers, are the branches. If we’re honest, we know we’re utterly helpless and spiritually ineffective apart from Him.

Jesus transforms us spiritually and reproduces His life in us—as we abide in Him.

Lord, take my life and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride;
I now surrender, Lord—in me abide. —Orr

A change in behavior begins with Jesus changing our heart.

Read: John 15:1-13

Abide in Me, and I in you. —John 15:4

Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 23-24; John 15

You blend in and adapt well. You are quite flexible - you can change with the times.
You are an adept communicator, especially with difficult people. You know how to smooth things over.

You are more of a generalist than a specialist. You do many things well and can wear many hats.
You fit in well with any crowd. You immediately take the vibe of every room and adjust appropriately.

The secondary colors are: orange, green, and purple. They are made my mixing two secondary colors.
Like a secondary color, you are good at handling multiple strong personalities. You mediate well.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

/?result=Tertiary">You Are a Tertiary Color

You are a multi-talented person with many balls in the air. You like so many things.
You find yourself easily inspired and easily distracted. Your distractions lead you to fruitful places though!

You are anything but ordinary, and to be honest, you find normal to be quite boring. You prefer anything or anyone quirky.
You value creativity, imagination, and expression. You like things that are new and different.

Some tertiary colors are red-purple and blue-green. They are made by mixing a secondary color with primary color.
Like a tertiary color, you are a mix of many influences. You contain multitudes.

I am a Rainbow that has never been seen, only felt by those still living. A mystery, a myth, a legend but as real and as definable as the speed of light and yet the stars in the sky on a high mountain top can see me, but you don’t.

TT

I didn’t take the quiz...

I was just paraphrasing an old love letter I sent to a now middle aged lady about 40 years ago after receiving a “Dear John” while on deployment ... I still don’t get it either but I was trying to put on a good face. (When ya can’t Dazzle them with Brilliance, Baffle ‘em with BS) must have been weird to her too (even in those days) cause I never heard from her again.

Well of course it's all totally true. :)

I'm really going to get to my morning rounds and hellos
before others show up. When that happens they pull me away
in too many directions.

Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
