How many Star Trek fans out there? Do you remember the Prime Direc-
tive? (Extra points if you blog on and tell me.)
Pretty hard to disciple and teach if you don’t know what to teach.

9. Random Quizzing comes the world, even our faith.
Before I attended a recent conference where I would have opportunity to
present my work to some famous people in the “biz” I practiced my

1. Reward—earn something
Some of us learn by being punished, some of us learn by being rewarded.
I like presents. It’s my love language (and Alan would be happy to pass
along anything you like to give to me). So, if I really want something, I
set myself a goal. I have to run so many times per week or get so much
work done or put together the tractor puzzle so many times with the local
flutter pixies.
