African Proverb


"I hear, I forget, I see, I remember, I do, I understand."  

The kind if knowledge we need, is the kind of KNOWING that comes through experience.  It is what gives someone the assurance they need in life, "I have what it takes".  It comes with a combination of adventure and hard work.  The kind of knowing that David had, when he showed up and said he would go against Goliath. Was he being arrogant?  No.  He had experience slaying bears and lions, and he knew God was with him (Fathered By God-Eldredge, 2009).

Of course now I am seeing this 'ginosko' everywhere.  I have been reading Fathered By God, just for light reading and BAM, there it is!!!  I am excited about where this kind of mindset will take me.
