Relational Gradus - Curiosity (continued)

Ok, we didn't get a chance to do our role playing, but we will!! We did, however, begin our discussion on curiosity and its connection with transparency. The theory on the table right now that we're testing is "What Happens When God Asks Why?". I propose, based on my own study, that God asks "why" of humankind for two reasons. One, to turn us from sin, or, two, to reveal the results of sin. I'm encouraging anybody and everybody to look at scripture and see if you understand it differently.

We finally reviewed a few clips from the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice in regard to Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. We saw how their relationship evolved and how the transparency and curiosity grew with it. Does anybody have other thoughts they'd like to share on what you observed?

We'll continue our curiosity dialog next week ... keep this in mind: When Jesus said we must be like little children in our approach to the Kingdom, what do you think He meant?

Homework assignment for Monday, March 16th
Observe relational interactions with others and note the following:

• When do you observe the other person being curious OR not curious?
• When do you observe YOURSELF being curious or not curious?
• Come prepared to share your observations (at least one for each of the above)

As we continue our Relational Gradus education, we'll have greater opportunity to allow God to expand us and challenge us in what we're learning. As Albert Einstein echoes Romans 12; "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.", the more we learn, the more we're responsible to live. Allow your thinking to change so that you can become all that God wants you to be for His purpose and His glory!! It's an exciting time to live for Jesus, right?

Blessings!!
