i love the example question about the sky and the roads and whatnot, that made me chuckle….so, i was helping “helping” my sister with her economics homework and i felt the same twinge of having some skill at studying and knowing how to figure things out in a general way, but then i had absolutely no reference point on which to draw knowledge from – from an economics angle. I have no clue about economics – terms like tarriff, regional trade agreement and multilateralism – these were being strewn about so freely that i felt like i was WAY out of my league…..anyway, i “likey” also…..and i guess i feel the same about bringing people to God, i feel like i have some “some” skill, and i guess i have some knowledge, but i don’t really know how to use the knowledge yet…..thats one thing i admire about dion, he has alot of knowledge and he knows how to apply it and teach it…..sorry about my ANNOYING method of typing, run-on sentences, dashes, no capilatlization, dot-dot-sot everywhere….i’m pretty annoying…..

This is so true.

At work, to keep up on my knowledge I have to read and re-read things to keep it up since I forget like a gold fish (they have a 5 second memory).

At the same time, I have to practice, to keep up the skill. If I don't then over time I forget things.

Same thing with our walk with God. If we don't read up and practice with loose the knowledge and skill. Yet, the more we read and practice the more knowledge we gain and skill we have to wield.

I likie. This is so true.

Makes me think of people who say they have read the bible and people who actively read the bible. One did it at one time and aother reads it and keeps the knowledge up.
