thanks men...what a great and challenging discussion at our novel tonic men's breakfast this morning...i think we really did have a refreshing drink this morning....
well...for the rest of you we men talked about chasing lions...and one of the topics that came up was learning and unlearning...and then the rest of the day i have thought much about those two things....here are some of my thoughts....
half of learning is learning...the other half is unlearning...unfortunately i believe unlearning is twice as hard as learning...it is sort of like a computer virus on a hard drive, our minds can become infected with bad files...fears, misconceptions, and stubborn attitudes keep us from operating to our full potential...if these bad files aren't uninstalled, the undermine everything we do...
even Jesus had the purpose of empowering those who listened to him to unlearn...he said...
"you have heard it said...love your neighbor and hate your enemy...but i tell you...love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...
let's ask the Lord to help us uninstall all the negative, religious, traditional and irrelevant files that may infect us....
help me Lord!
can you think of things that you need to unlearn?

Thank you for having this gathering. It is a pleasure to meet with the men of ALC! I am still getting my thoughts together on things that I need to unlearn, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, they will become clear to me in time. Thanks again...
