• Curiosity

  Curiosity
  Curiosity was the one ruling passion of Leonardo da Vinci, according to art historian Kenneth Clark. It was this curiosity that helped da Vinci become one of history’s greatest innovators. His passion was to explore, to draw, and to invent. Clark called him “the most relentlessly curious man in history. Everything he saw made him ask how and why.”

  Curiosity is sometimes a beneficial motivation. It has inspired scientists to innovate and dig for new discoveries. It has moved people to brave danger and explore new territories. It has fueled personal growth.

  But curiosity also can be damaging, and God wants us to be alert to its dangers. He knows that curiosity often has led people to dabble in activities and lifestyles that are harmful and ungodly, or to listen to ideas that lead them astray. 

  
  Reagan
  I just love the book, “When Character was King”, about President Ronald Reagan.  It goes through his life and shows how he recieved his character.  It came from his Mom.  Right now the book is telling about his time in Hollywood.  Reagan really fought against what he thought of as evil that tried to get into Hollywood.  Makes me wonder what America would be like if he would of won that battle.
