2.  This article speaks about learning about homemaking skills but I think the idea can be applied to learning any skill… - http://www.livingonadime.com/learn-homemaking-skills/

“There is an order to things. If you keep practicing you will become competent. You can’t become competent until you have practiced. You then gain an understanding and discernment about what you are doing so that you can effectively and readily (quickly) perform the job at hand. That is how you learn a skill. Not by sitting and hoping someone will wave a magic wand over you or deciding, "That just isn’t my thing."”

I always say if you want to learn to bake a pie make one every day for 14 days and at the end of that time you will know how to bake a pie. Why? Because you will have made every mistake there is in making a pie and hopefully you will have learned not to do the same thing wrong the next time. You need to do this with anything you want to learn. ”

3.  The Assembling of the Church has posted a new item, 'What is edification? -

7.  I once read about an atheist apologist who didn't want to go to heaven. He didn't want to go there because he considered that praising God for eternity would be the most boring thing he could possibly think to do.

9. “ I don’t pray because I have all the answers. I pray because I don’t.  I don’t pray because I can. I pray because I can’t.  Prayer is the coming to the end of myself…the letting go…and placing my hope in the God who can.”  -- http://www.likeawarmcupofcoffee.com/home/2011/01/the-desperate-cry-of-a-mama/
