My son and I wandered the books at Barnes and Nobel last night... and he came up with a "must-have" book on the discount rack<G> It was a book of 81 tuff questions... and the answer to each<G> The questions ranged from theories for math to science trivia...but for 15 year old Josh.. he had to have it! *It was a book of wonders! I watched in amazement that he paid for the book himself and started to read it! *What was it that caught his attention? The "gift of knowledge" is growing in his young mind! Knowing things...breeds freedom and independence, resourceful ness and the keys to tackle any task. How you do that is to first... define the problem- state what you know..and what you observe... describe then your goal... Resources are found in others who have passed that way, and left information as to what they found... *Insight! Suddenly I had a "insight" that what we wait for in the boys are *Good Questions! Effective questioning leads to research.. and that is frankly easier than ever today! I asked the boys of the Outpost- "what do you think?" and received back blank looks<G> *They assumed I as "leader" would tell them what to think! Try preaching "thinking" to a group that don't! Mayby that's why they don't "Pay" Ranger leaders! *What seems so powerful is the lack of questions as to why things are and what we should do.... the mind is a resource and soon and very soon all or deepest questions will be answered! *Mayby being Ready... is to cultivate a desire for questions to be asked/answered! Maybe God want's us to gain Insight.. to deepen our Love for him and for each other! What do you think?<G> -=A=- _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
