Llywydd, yn ymlaen i'r ddechrau o'r Poliwyr Beth yw'r cyfnod gyfnod ymlaen i'r Cymru yw'r Ysgolwyr yw'r Cymru a'r cyfnod yw'r 23 o'r coffiwyr gyffreddau ymlaen i'r Cyfnod, pan cyfnod ymlaen i'r cyffreddau bryd. Yr Cyfnod Ysgolwyr yw'r Cyfnod yw'r Cyfnod yw'r Cyfnod gyffreddau yw'r Cyfnod cyffreddau yw'r Cyfnod, was taken out an exhaustive deliberation by the State Security Council at Government House, Bothakot. The government emphasised that in taking these other drastic measures at the time, the state government's single intention was to secure the state and guarantee the protection of life and property. Well, joining us to have this conversation is Cofi Bartels, he's a broadcast journalist and in awe of Beir Beir, who is the head of news, Nigeria Info FFM Bothakot. Thank you gentlemen and lady for joining us. Beir beir. Okay, great. So I'll start with you and all. There have been reports of deadly attacks and gruesome murders of some security operatives in Bothakot and one would really wonder why this is happening because every time you hear of the case of insecurity in river stages, either it's a communal clash or cult clashes, but this time security operatives are being targeted. Walk us through what exactly happened that, you know, cost the government of the state to take this measure. Okay, so on all the weekend there was an attack very close to the airport and I'm going to worry that there was another one in another community off the road going to Bay Elsa. So the government said on Tuesday there was a penalty from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. at the border communities because they thought or they have what the government has said that they believe that the attackers keep them outside the town. So for them, it's a means to prevent whoever it is, the attackers from coming in again because those groups are like on the expressway, they're not in the communities, they're on the expressway, so perhaps that was like one of the easy targets. So that was the first thing and then just two days later, we hear that the perfectly has now been imposed statewide. Perhaps they have information that maybe the attackers are already in the city and the best way is to ensure that there's no movement, so that if anybody is moving, it's that they're being put in trouble. So I think that's why the government has taken that action. Interesting. I just wonder again why security operatives would be targeted in river states? For a state where security operatives have been really treated well in terms of the governor is seen to be somewhat pampering these security officials, even though he's sometimes not on the same page with them, but you see gunbols being purchased by the government, you see vehicles being purchased by the government to help security operatives do their job. I mean, I know that you do not know necessarily why this is happening, but why do you think that this type of level of insecurity is happening in river states? I mean, the elections have come and gone, so what could be from the reports that you have guarded the reason for this happening? So when the attacks in the emo state were reported, I just said it was just a matter of time, but too close. I mean, it was too close to home, so I just thought it was a matter of time that was meant to happen, but I did not think it was going to happen this way. I mean, I didn't know how it was going to happen, but it was just because there have been attacks in Abia state, there have been attacks in another state, a new state, you know, so I mean, I just thought it was going to get here, I just didn't know when. But the thing about the attack in river state that makes it a big difference is unlike the others, they were attacked, they were killed, yes, but here we heard that they were beheaded. And when I heard for the first time, I said, but that's a trademark of cultist groups in river state, because I mean, you'd be here, you know that when cultist groups attack each other, they take the head like a trophy back to wherever it is that they come from. So I told someone, I said, it would be hard for me to just accept that it's iPod, but that's what, you know, they said it would be hard for me to accept that because it's a trademark of the cultists in river state and how they operate, but no one has come to say anything different, you know, and for the government to say that they came from outside the state means that he's perhaps agreed with what the critical government should say that it was iPod that carried out that attack. Just to watch what you've just mentioned, just two weeks ago, if I'm not mistaken, there were about seven bodies that were beheaded in cross river state, just same style, beheaded and just dumped in public glare. And first and foremost, the government of the state denied that any such thing happened. Of course, they're trying to paint the state in a good light, but the NSCDC boss in that state, Irimi, was the one who reported that. And just as you've said, it's a cult like killing, but what would cultists be doing with security operatives? That's the part that we cannot understand. Yes. So they took their guns and they took vehicles. That's what we heard. They took their guns and they took vehicles.  So that won't be still, you know, begs a question. Well, Cofi Basel is joining us. Cofi, I did see on your late night show when you were talking about this, you know, curfew, and, you know, you were also analysing the insecurity or the recent killings. Enor has given us her perspective as to what she suspects because of the manner in which these men were killed. But what exactly do you think is responsible for this? Like I said, the elections have come and gone. But River States is experiencing this type of insecurity. It's another level. Security operatives being attacked or being targeted. For it not to happen again, that's why the government is having this curfew. But what do you think this is? There's a number of factors. And Maryam, thank you for having me. There's a number of factors responsible for this.  We can point to what happened in Emo State, where it's alleged that the IPOB and the Eastern Security Network took out attacks on, you know, security installations, government security agencies and GSEs. We have the Emo State Police headquarters. We have the Nigerian Correctional Centre facility there in Oweri. Emo State is neighboring to River State. And the area which was attacked where you had some government security agents killed near the Portugal International Airport, there's a route through which it passed to get to Emo State. So that might give a clue. That might give a clue as to where these attacks are coming from. However, if the police and the security agencies have not said anything, who are we to say something? But in the realm of speculation, you know, most of the frictions between the police and groups has been recently, we have the IPOB. Now, we're well aware of what happened in Oibo, a local government near Port Hackett in River State, where several persons attacked the police station. The police station was burned down. Several policemen were killed and women were killed. And till now there's a curfew place in Oibo local government area, just neighboring to the city of Port Hackett. So that's one. We've had in recent times also issues of kidnappers. We have a cult problem in River State, where we have cult groups rampaging in different local government areas. In recent times, the security access has been in the news. In other times, we've had that elili, el moha, a stretch. You know, at the point, it was very dangerous for anyone to travel from River State to Emo State because on a daily basis in Enoch and Baby Testament, because we worked together on the morning crossfire on a radio show on Port Hackett here, we're always having to report buses, bus loads of people traveling to Emo State or from Emo State to River State being kidnapped. You know, so we have these groups and call them cultists who operate around that area as well. River State has also had its fair share of a militancy activity, you know, that has led to an upsurge in guns, in weapons and all that. So, so it's a bit murky. We have a, it says in the network, an IPOB, but there are other groups that could be responsible for this. The government called them faceless groups and I think we can, we can stick with that for now. Well, yeah, I mean, that's what everybody calls them, even the bandits, faceless gunmen. I mean, that seems to be a comfortable word for everybody right now. But what does this mean for River State? Because, I mean, for example, we've had, I also was there when we kept talking about the Ilele axis and all of the things that had been happening. Is a dust to them cuff you enough solution to the problem? I mean, yes, the government is saying that they're investigating, but why do we wait for things to happen on this kill for us to take drastic actions when we could have dealt with the issue when it was just a teething problem? Yes, this is multi-faceted. You know, it's not one of the things that, you know, maybe you could say the government could have controlled. It's something that has come to meet us. And it's taking us, some will say on our ways, but some will say, well, we have intelligence officers, we have security officers, we should know better. And a dust to them cuff you, will it solve the entire problem? It may or may not solve the entire situation, but it will go a long way to health. It will go a long way to health because most of these attacks that we've had about in different parts of the country, most of them are carried out in the another cover of DAC.  Is it the attack on the correctional center? In several other places, we've had, you know, attacks in the night. So, you know, at night we can have people staying at home, the police and security officers can roam about, they can patrol and see who is going where. You know, but some people have said, you know, on my radio program throughout the week, some have said they can come in any time of the day. And if we have history to rely on, you remember during the lockdown, the COVID-19 lockdown in River State, there were several reports of people paying money to enter River State. They paid, you know, when there was a blockade of the boundary between River State and the neighboring states, people were coming in. How were they coming in? They were paying money to the police and security officials at the border. So, some people have pointed out to this fact and said, if it continues the same way it did during the lockdown, then of course, you know, anyone can come in. That's number one. Number two, of course, it can come in in the daytime, you know, but the security, some security analysts have said that the government security agencies need to embark on serious surveillance, serious surveillance in the daytime, yes, and not wait till the night, you know, to mount their surveillance. They should actually mount it in the daytime. Thirdly, we have to go, coffee, I'm so sorry, we have to go outside of time. Thank you very much, Enog, Waverie and Cofi Bartels, a broadcast journalist from who work in River State, by the way. Enog is the head of news in Nigeria, Info FM, Port Hackert and Cofi Bartels. Dostolig, night show. Thank you very much, gentlemen and lady for being part of this conversation. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Well, thank you for staying with us. We'll go on a short break for now and hear what Nigerians have to say. They believe that it is the job of the use in Nigeria facing insecurity challenges as well. We'll get to hear what they have to say and when we come back, I'll give you my take. I want to believe that the only thing the youth can do now is 2023 is coming. They can collectively form a youth party that, forming a youth party, easily they can champion their cause and actualise their mandate. Youth has things to offer for this country. Are the deaths of Zeke, the death of Aulawa, number two below. They are in their 20s, they are in their 30s and the government knows well. The youth, both Yubo Yolwba Haosa, has come together to now to work out their hand. So this Niger can move forward.  Let the youth come in, all right, and prove their own kind of ability maybe to build up the country because we lie on those that are big and strong. They still keep us back, back, back. They are cheating us. Actually, the youth have to be given a chance to work with the secret agencies before they can, you know, they have to be given a chance, so they have to be given a voice as in the chance to be heard before they can be able to work with the government or the secret agencies. So they can just collaborate or work with the secret agencies when they have not been given a chance to be heard. So they have to be given a chance to be heard and then work with the secret agencies. That's only where they can work, you know, get involved in what is happening. They have a role to play, but they have not been given the chance to, you know, to get involved. Here's my take. It's been a very dark and gloomy week with reports of gruesome attacks and killings, abductions in Nigeria, a ripple effect of unchecked pockets of violence across the country. Why were these activities unchecked, you ask? Well, we have a set of leaders who are reactionary then precautious. Ones who deal with issues of insecurity in kids' gloves, ones who run after unimportant issues while their houses are on fire, the ones who use sledgehammers to kill an act, paying lip service to issues that shake or could possibly break the core of our existence. I really wonder why our leaders like to do this last-minute fix instead of pre-emptive measures and decisive show of power and strength to deal ruthlessly with perpetrators of violence. A government that would rather shoot at peaceful protesters yet toy with the idea of negotiating with bandits. When will the people of Nigeria be at the top of our leader's priority list, I ask? When will we be their core concern? When will Nigeria's leaders wake up to their responsibilities and not be selfish towards us?  I'm Marianna Cym, thanking you for watching. It's been past politics.


Hi everyone. It's MJ and I got asked this question. What is the difference between a statistic and a parameter? And this is a very easy question to answer if we look at the big picture of statistics We can see this is where our statistic is and this is where our parameters So we can see that they are different things, but I'm gonna explain the big picture I'm gonna see why it is sometimes confusing if we look at the big picture of statistics We know that what we're trying to do is get some information from data using mathematics We use some mathematical processes and we get some information from data Now the information that we're after is the distribution and the parameters of this thing called the random variable The random variable is the heart of statistics and why it is the heart is because it is the thing that generates the data in the first place And once we know the information about the random variable, in this case it's distribution as parameters We can use this information to answer questions and optimize processes in a whole wide variety of fields So it's a very very good thing to do So let's get into it. What exactly is a statistic? In a nutshell, a statistic is something that we use to estimate what the parameters are going to be And normally we're using this the subject here, point estimation is when we use the final result of a statistic And we say okay we're gonna use this to estimate our parameter But let's get a little bit deeper into it Let's say for instance that we have our random variable Random variable we can sometimes denote by capital letter X And let's say this random variable is normally distributed Once we know what the distribution is we know what parameters we're looking for In this case of the normal distribution it has the parameters mu and sigma squared Remember if the random variable was let's say the Poisson distribution Then we'd be looking for a parameter known as lambda But don't worry about that for now, we're looking at the normal distribution which has got two parameters Mu and sigma squared Okay now we know from normal distributions that the expected value of x is going to be equal to mu And the variance of our random variable when it's a normal distribution is equal to sigma squared Okay that is stuff that we know from just our studying of probability distributions So these things here just to say it again Mu and sigma squared these are our parameters Okay and these are unknown values that we're trying to figure out Now what can random variables do? Random variables can generate data So let's say our random variable generates some data And we normally denote the data by the lowercase x We have x1, we have x2, we have x3 These are data points of our random variable And together we can refer to them as a random sample or we use the notation x underline So x underline is going to be our random sample or it is a group of observations And this is where things get interesting because our statistic Okay is a mathematical function of the random sample Or states in more mathematically a statistic is given by this Where g is just representing that we're doing a function Now one of the most famous statistics of all time is something known as x bar Because what x bar is it is the sum of the observations Divided by the number of observations And this x bar is also known as the sample mean Now hold on, sample mean and this thing over here which is known as the mean And this is where we can start using statistics to give us information about the parameters Because what we're going to say is hold on, why don't we equate the sample mean to the parameter So here we have our statistic, here we have our parameter And we say that we are going to use our statistic to estimate what our parameter is going to be Where things start to get interesting is that this statistic over here Because it's made up of a random sample it is in its own right a random variable And because it is a random variable we know from our big picture That it too is going to have its own set of parameters and its own set of distributions And this is why some people get a little bit confused with statistics Because now we have a random variable in the case of a statistic That has its own set of parameters and its own distribution Now what are the parameters and distribution of a statistic? Fortunately there is a very big discovery in statistics something known as the central limit theorem Which comes in and helps us say what this distribution and what this parameter is going to be Now why we care about that is because let's say we just want to say Okay give me a single point estimate of what mu is We just calculate this value here and we say okay let's say we had 6, 7, 8 We go 6 plus 7 plus 8 divided by 3 and we can say okay cool 7 is our estimate for the parameter You could do that, you could do that But as soon as you start taking into consideration that the statistic is a random variable It has its distribution, it has parameters, it has its own variance You start using the central limit theorem You can start creating something known as confidence intervals And a confidence interval wouldn't be saying okay this is the single value You say that the parameter is going to be between two values And you give it a set of confidence saying at 95% But look we are getting a little bit ahead of ourselves But that's where you'll see confidence intervals start coming in When we start using the central limit theorem Which is giving us information about the parameters and distributions of the statistic So this is a lot of information to process all at once If you are a little bit confused watch the video again But the whole idea in statistics is that we have some data We want information from that data And the information we want is the parameters and distributions Of this thing called the random variable Because with it we can answer questions and we can optimize processes And yes we start off with simple algebra And we start getting a little bit more complicated When we start introducing calculus later on in the course But if statistics is something that interests you I do have a course on Udemy called actuarial statistics So just search Udemy for actuarial statistics Or you can go visit my online school course statistics by MJ And learn a lot more about this beautiful subject Which in my opinion is one of the most important subjects of the modern age But if you've got any questions feel free to let me know in the comment section below And I'll provide also links in the description so check that out Thanks guys, keep well, cheers


Why does this always happen to me? I like how they just don't make noise anymore. Pretty close to the second checkpoint. Take this carefully. Everything nice and reloaded. Focusing low-harm right now. Also quite dark. Barely see. Uh-oh. Oh god. Look at that. Oh god. Four-scun kind of. Thank god for that four-scun. Thank god for stasis as well. E. Press E. Now we can take your helmet off. You got it? Please tell me that's the end. Please. I don't understand. I'm just gonna keep killing things. Now we're looking good. I'm just fixing this. Stross is dead, Ellie. I got a couple of them, just a couple. They need to destroy the marker. Stross couldn't lead us to the marker. He was running away from a skill. What about you? I'm not running anymore. This drill's a stroke of good luck, finally. Why don't you get up to the cab to try to get it started? I'll look for the other power cell. See what I can do from up here. This kid's getting down here. I blasted him. Oh god. I was supposed to save. Oh god. I got to survive this yet. Like out of ammo.  Oh god. Out of health. I need to save so bad. Alright. And we got a checkpoint. This is it. I can't believe I did the drill segment. I didn't know that I forgot what the trigger was for going back. So I survived that segment, otherwise I would have been totally screwed. I'm just going to try this. I mean, I have a safe one right here, so... Yeah. Come on. I'm not fighting all these guys. I have a safe one right here. I'm going to do it as many times as it takes.   It doesn't show up. It literally just doesn't show up sometimes. Oh, I changed my mind putting it back in. I think this is the point of the game where it's best to just run. Hey, can you please get out of the way? Please? Damn, that's annoying. Out of the way. Yeah. Too short. Oh well. I have plenty of health anyway. Oh my god. That's funny. Hope I'm losing the right way. Oh god. I'm playing real sloppy now. I think I saved right before this. I have a feeling I'm going to. Am I supposed to stasis these guys? Thank god for stasis. He's being very sloppy, very loose with the enemy. I'm alive. That's what matters at this point. All that matters is that I can make it to the next checkpoint. Seriously, if these are later lobes in the game, you should probably just run. I wouldn't be playing an easier difficulty right now, so... Luckily, I think the next safe, my next checkpoint, fire and forget. I'm out of here. Lucky you guys. They're coming in behind me. They're coming in behind me. I mean, at this point in the game, I have so much money and so much resources that, as long as I can make it to the next door, I should be okay. I'm feeling I'm going to need to reload this. Okay, now I've got those nodes. Oh well. This means my next health upgrade is a little easier to get. Getting very close to the end. Very close. Ah, closer than I thought. Alright, I should probably have spaced out the saves a little more. I could probably try to do the regenerator fight without doing the save, but I'm this close to the end. I really don't care. Final save. Let's do it. This way, if I mess up the eye thing, I can come back here. Alright, I think this will be a 5-hour 30-minute run. But usually, in normal mode, when you're playing on consoles, you don't have to do everything single-sign it, or you don't have to play all at once. It's only the PC mode that has the book. I activated the cutscene forcing. I was tempted to stab him in the eye, or to just stab him. But maybe next life. When I saved that chapter, I saved after the big elevator thing. Kind of focusing. We have Vipremes. She's invincible when she's getting up, I guess. And there goes all my plasma. Take your time, and kind of where to be.  I think there's only one chapter left. Chapter 15 is the last chapter, so all I gotta do is like... I think it's just the final boss, but gotta do this run like hell. Hey, guys. Stasis gonna run. That's literally the end game for this game. Back off! Back off! The heck is hurting? What is that? I think this is the last thing, so empty the... empty the coffers, I guess. I've, uh... almost died many times. Especially running up towards this last one. Can't save anymore. I would have liked to save here. Ouch. I'm just gonna start running. I'm gonna slowly make my way through the door here. Care about any of those collectibles or items or stuff? Keep going. Keep moving. Just keep moving. Open door, please. Open door. Open door. Uh, boy. Check up online. In the dory. Got his insta kill. Where am I? Ah, here we are. The end of the game. I'm just gonna shoot here, make sure that there's no one back there.  Look, there's Nicole back there. Not being helpful. Is she supposed to be back there right now? Or is she just rendered in too early? I think you're responding too early there, Nicole. Uh, no. I think she was supposed to be there. Oops. I missed. I only have two large red kits, which is pretty good, but... not as much as I thought I would. Not as much I wanted. Thank you, Isaac. Now. What? What did you just say to me? Ahhhh! Hang on, let me reload. I think I hope there's no way to die in that final sight. Running low on health there. Should have bought another red pack. I don't know why I even bothered with saving money at the end. I'm literally at the end of the game still thinking, how am I going to save these resources? I should have just filled my inventory with it. Shit. You have a great plan.  Well, here's another one. I'm crashing through the roof to get here.  Wait, no, no. Ally, it's too late. Set clear of the station. Yeah, well, you don't really have a say this time. Press E. Press E to finish the game. Yay! I once said it once. Never again. That's pretty funny. I did it as hardcore mode. Dead Space 2. I think I only suffered... So I died once on the light back from the solar array. That was a legit death. That was me being dove and I didn't do the flying segment, right? I had to reset once because of the solar array bug. So I died two times very quickly after the first checkpoint. Did not die on the second checkpoint. No? No, no, no. Died several times on the second checkpoint just trying to run past the door. Did not die on the third checkpoint. So this was not a deathless run, but... I don't know. I feel like... For the first checkpoint, I definitely needed the second checkpoint I definitely needed and the third checkpoint I didn't need. So I could take the third checkpoint where the future runs would move it somewhere and the chapter is one in like... seven? Because I don't save it all up until solar array and it's like a two hour segment of the run. But... Whatever. I definitely don't want to do this in a single setting anymore. This is the only way to get it to legitimately get the hand cannon on PC because there's the bug that makes it so if you go to the main menu or quit the game in between saves, it resets your save and it just bugs out and you don't get the hand cannon if you peep the game even on hardcore. So... I had to do it all at once. It took me five hours, 30 minutes, just a little over. There was some time at the start of the stream for... There was a little bit of time at the start of the stream for just setting up, but... Other than that, it was just me playing straight for the whole time. Ah! How long are these credits? I was definitely getting a little hairy It was getting a little hairy towards the end because I was... focusing too much on Nicole rather than the little minions around. But... I survived, which is the most important thing. So... A deathless run for this for me would be basically would be way too much effort for me to get because... This is like... a five hour game. Five plus hour game and for me to be focused in for that long without making critical errors. There's a lot of cheese in this game too. It's probably not going to happen. I know I'm not going to dedicate myself to that. There's nothing you get for doing it either, so... There's that. Now, I think that this is as hard as the game is going to get for me. In fact, from now on, if I ever want to play hardcore again, I'm going to do multiple segments instead of doing it all at once. But now I can say I did and claim my beautiful hand cannon, right? These are great games. Both of the death spaces. Good games. I say that at every game I've played, but I guess that's because I played them because they are good. I haven't yet run into a game that I played where it's just been like garbage. The Hobbit wasn't that great, to be honest. I love all the girls in this game. I just caught my eye.  What am I reading right now? What is this?  What section is this? That was enough to credit me? I never knew that. I can return to base. The other sides will have to pick up the pieces. Alright, let's take the thing after a spin. In game one, it made a little more sense because he was just getting like new pieces of armor attached to him, but this one, he's like completely resuited. Got a lot of little doohickeys. Oh boy, here it is! screenshot that. I worked so hard. Take it after a spin. Maybe I can click fake people into watching the video by saying I got a truly deathless run just using this.  Actually, one more thing I want to check. You said you could fix it, right? Only if you reach me in time. Transition, get moving. Alright. What fun. A good picture of the completed scene. Alright everyone, thanks for watching. That was a hell of a long stream over six hours, but I did it. I completed it. The challenge is over. Thank you all for watching. Thank you all for tuning in. See you in the next one.


So we have new details in the next 3 in-game edition and although I'm not a crazy amount of information, it's at least some details I feel you guys definitely need to know. How's it going guys, my name's DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like, it really helps me out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So we have new information on the next 3 addition to the game and it sounds amazing people. It's called the Takedown at the Guardian Breach and this new addition comes and launches on June 4th so not too long away at all. Gearbox states this new end-game gauntlet is designed to put your skills and gear to the ultimate test. Again this arrives as a free addition to the base game on June 4th. So this new takedown is just slightly takedown at the matter of Blacksite and will be an extreme challenge that scales to the number of players in your party but is indeed meant to push a full party of 4 leveled up vault hunters to the absolute limit and I do like the sound of that. I do like a challenge in this game I mean there isn't much of a challenge considering the builds we can build now so I hope this is indeed difficult but I do hope at the same time the reward for the difficulty is there. So together you'll undertake a reconnaissance mission to the planet of minus prime to locate the source of the mysterious guardian signal. Upon arrival you'll be besieged by a sector of rogue guardians who have irrevocably transformed minus prime. Along with new enemies, low gravity platforming sections and environmental puzzles you'll have to overcome both a minibus and a final boss encounter. Similar to the structure of the first takedown, should you survive you'll be rewarded with a host of new items including themed weapons, gear and collectible cosmetics. This is what we play for people. So how cool does that sound? I can't wait if I'm honest I mean I feel the takedown at the matter of Blacksite added so much to this game and if this new takedown is anything like that it could be an incredible addition to the game going forward. It's actually building the game up to be that of which so many people wanted a game with so much to do, so much to farm and so much to go get and the more additions like this they add the better. This takedown as well much like the first one will be a permanent addition to the game so it's a loot we'll be one in which we can count on as being loot that changes the game going forward. So yeah people a short but sweet video bringing you guys all the details we know so far on the next 3 addition to the game. Then the more info there's in the drop as always I will obviously have you covered right here on my channel so make sure you subscribe to your new run here. But for sure guys tell me down below in that comment section what you think about this next new addition. What do you want from it? What do you guys hope it brings? And what do you hope it improves upon over the first takedown to hit Borderlands? Let me know your thoughts down below. On that note we have come to the end of the video if you guys enjoyed it even a like really helps out.

Amen. So keep your place in 2 Chronicles chapter 26. We'll get there in a minute. So we're continuing the personalities sermon series this evening. So once again most of you have gone to the personalities, 16 personalities website and taken the test to find out what kind of personality you are and we're just doing some kind of some fun light sermons on these different personalities and this is by no means an exhaustive study of all these different personalities. I've just chosen a few of these personalities and I'm trying to bunch them up a little bit so we can go over the ones that apply to us or the ones that apply to the people of the church and this evening I want to talk about adventurers and virtuosos. We're going to kind of put these two together so I'm not going to have you raise your hand. I don't even know who all the adventurers and virtuosos in the church are. I know there's several of them so we're going to talk about them together. I want you to look down at 2 Chronicles chapter 26. What I'm trying to do is in my opinion pick out somebody in the Bible that fits this personality type and adventurers and virtuosos we're going to first look at the combined strengths of adventurers and virtuosos. So adventurers and virtuosos are first of all the reason I chose 2 Chronicles chapter 26 is because they're creative and imaginative and if you look down at 2 Chronicles chapter 26 the Bible here is talking about Uzziah who kind of is one of my favorite kings in the Bible because of some of the things that he did you know before the whole pride and leprosy thing happened but he was a pretty good king and he was he was doing some pretty creative and imaginative things and plus he was a rancher he was he was a husband man so I kind of like Uzziah look at 2 Chronicles chapter 26 and verse number 9 and the Bible kind of gives us some insight and you know you don't hear these types of details from every king in the Bible but Uzziah was doing some things that were above and beyond in this area and look what he was doing in verse number 9. Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate and at the valley gate and at the turning of the wall and fortified them he also built towers in the desert and dig many wells for he had much cattle both in the low country and in the plains husband men also and vine dressers in the mountains and in Carmel or Carmel I guess Carmel for he loved husbandry and now look if you've ever raised animals that you'll realize that part at the end after the colon there where it says for he loved husbandry is very important because if you're going to make your living or you're going to have animals or raise animals you have to love doing it because you're just it there's just if I would have taken my time you know into account on the farm and raising the animals I probably would have made about ten cents an hour if I would have looked at the time that I spent raising livestock so you have to love it you have to love husbandry so it's important that that's in there because it shows that the Bible understands that in order to be someone who raises livestock you have to love doing it okay now look down at verse number 11 more over so first of all verse number nine he's building these towers he's building he's fortifying the towers he's building you know all these different he look here this guy's building infrastructure here he's building infrastructure verse 11 more over Uzziah had a host of fighting men that went out to war by bands according to the number of their account by the hand of Giel describe and messiah the ruler under the hand of Hananiah one of the king's captains the whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor were 2,600 and under their hand was an army 300,000 and 7,500 that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy so he's fortifying himself he's building infrastructure he's building he's building an army look at verse 14 and Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the hosts of shields and spears and helmets and habersians and bows and slings to cast stones and he made in Jerusalem engines invented by cunning men to be on the towers upon the bulwarks to shoot arrows and great stones with all and his name spread far abroad for he was marveously helped tell he was strong it basically it's saying look he was just he he's building all these cool things these engines these engines being catapults and slings and you know trebuchets or whatever they were to throw these stones and throw these slings to cast stones he's he's building an army he's fortifying an empire and this is a man who's got some creative and imaginative drive within him so this is who I chose for the adventures and probably more virtuoso in Uzziah's case but let's just let me just read off for you some of these strengths for the virtuosos and the adventurers and then I'll choose a I chose a couple of them a couple of combined strengths that they both share and then a couple combined weaknesses that they both share and then we'll shine the light of the Bible on it and see if their weaknesses or strength or maybe a little bit of both so first virtuosos they're optimistic and energetic they're creative and practical once again talking about Uzziah they're spontaneous and rational they know how to prioritize they're great in a crisis we'll talk about that at the end of the sermon and they're very relaxed people the strengths of the adventurers according to the secular study is they're charming they are sensitive to others they're imaginative again they share that with the virtuosos they're passionate they're curious they have a lot of ideas and they are artistic so adventurers are able to show their creativity in tangible artistic ways so first of all I want to look at some combined strengths of both of these personality types and the first thing I want to point out about both of them together and I haven't mentioned this a lot with the previous sermons but both of these personality types are considered introverts they're considered introverts so what does that mean let me give you that that secular definition it's really a secular term but it's this and introverts is course the opposite of being an extrovert okay so the traits of extroversion and introversion are a central dimension in some human personality theories the terms introversion and extroversion were introduced in psychology by Carl Jung although both the popular understanding and current physiological usage vary extroversion tends to be manifested in an outgoing talkative behavior whereas introversion is manifested in a more reflective quiet and reserved behavior so here you have you know I'm sure you you've heard of it before but extroverts they're people that they like being around groups of people and they like talking and they're always talking and they're very like they want to be in groups talking all the time okay and you know look some of you are laughing I'm not I'm not looking at any particular person here okay but some people are extroverts they love this environment other people that terrifies other people you know would just rather be not in groups of people and I think that those were some of the questions if I remember of the personality test was you know a lot of do you like being in groups or not kind of thing but introverts would rather they're quiet they're reserved they're going to be the one that's if they're in a group they're going to be one that's not saying much okay they're going to be one that's not saying much now turn to Proverbs 17 in my opinion the Bible tends to favor the introvert a little bit as far as you know the type of you know character traits that you have and I'll tell you I'll explain to you why okay look at Proverbs chapter 17 and look at verse number 28 so remember you have the extrovert they like being in big groups of people and they like being the one talking they thrive on environments like that and then you have the introvert which the virtuoso and the adventurer are both introverted they would rather not be in groups and when they are in groups they they're quiet they're reserved and they don't say much okay look at Proverbs 17 28 the Bible says this even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding look this says that if you're quiet and you're not just blabbing all the time that you could be a fool and people could still think that you're a man of understanding it's when you open your mouth you know I mean have you heard that it's better to be a silent fool than to open your mouth and to remove all doubt I mean that is you know basically what Proverbs 17 28 is saying is that if you talk all the time there's a good chance and you if you're one of these people that just talks all the time you speak a lot you speak over people a lot you know other people can't get a word in edge wise there's a good chance you're going to prove yourself to be a fool in those cases so this is where the advantage is to the introvert into the advantage is to the introvert what turn to Proverbs chapter 21 Proverbs chapter 21 your mouth your mouth can actually get you in a lot of trouble this is another advantage introvert right here because your tongue the Bible says can cause you a lot of problems in your life Proverbs 21 look at verse 23 and the Bible says who so that means who so ever keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles so you say you know I'm not an introvert I like being in groups and I like to talk all the time well there's a good chance you're going to get yourself in trouble if that's the case you know so you're like I but I like to be the one telling people how it is all the time well there's a good chance you know you're going to get yourself in trouble look you should try to change that your tongue can actually do you a lot of harm in your life turn to Proverbs chapter 18 the Bible I mean the Bible actually has a lot to say about your tongue we're not going to spend a ton of time on it but you know the Bible does say that I mean look if you're if you're introverted you're safer according to you know what the Bible says about your tongue look at Proverbs 18 21 I mean look at this look at that I mean look at the wording here death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof look I mean learn to control your tongue is what the Bible is saying learn to control your tongue you're like I'm an extrovert I love to talk I wouldn't be a ground groups of people learn to control your tongue learn to control what you say you like to be along group among groups of people great learn to listen learn to be you know quieter speak less learn from that doesn't mean you have to become an introvert but learn some things from them learn this advantage from them now so you say okay introverts we're all supposed to just be reserved and never say anything and just be these people that never want to be in groups of people or never want to talk well introversion can also be a disadvantage turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 2 being shy being shy not wanting to speak not wanting to talk you know it's like it's not a bad thing like we said when it comes to controlling your tongue when it comes to it'll keep you from trouble like whenever just a good rule of thumb I've said this before is whenever you're not sure what to say maybe you don't know what the answer is and you know you're not sure what people are talking about it's best to just be silent it's best to just say nothing I mean if you think I mean the person that wants to be the first one to answer a question all the time he's the one that's going to be shown to be a fool maybe not that first one maybe he gets lucky on the first two or three answers but eventually he's going to be shown to be a fool so let's look at Paul for a minute let's look at Paul look at 1st Corinthians chapter 2 how could being shy be a bad thing look at 1st Corinthians chapter 2 and look at verse number one you say Paul here's the greatest evangelist that's ever lived on the earth to date I mean I don't know I mean I don't know how good of a soul when you are but you know you weren't as good as Paul okay look at 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 1 and I brethren Paul the greatest when I came to you came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom declaring unto you the testimony of God a lot of people have told me that they thought that Paul was maybe a commander I don't think Paul was a commander he was way too humble I mean Paul was way too humble and actually here he was saying he's like look he's like I'm not even good at speaking he's like I'm not even good at speaking I'm not even that smart I mean he's saying you know I came to you and I don't I don't speak well and I'm not the smartest you know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed is basically what he's saying but I came declaring to you he's saying it didn't matter that I couldn't speak well and it didn't matter that I'm not the smartest person you've ever met because I'm not declaring my own testimony I'm declaring the testimony of God is what he's saying now look at Romans chapter one so Paul I mean he knew that he wasn't the most you know just well versed person in the world he knew that he wasn't the smartest person out there but look at his life look what he produced now turn to Romans chapter one so him knowing this him knowing this I mean that could have caused Paul to be like you know what uh you know he could have just been really self-conscious about that he could have just been really you know this was Moses when he went to God I am not an eloquent man he was nervous he's like find somebody else he's like I can't speak well why would you put me in front of Pharaoh he's like why would you do that I'm not eloquent but look at Romans chapter one and verse 15 this is how Paul handled it so Paul knew that he wasn't an eloquent man just like Moses and this is what Paul did look at verse 15 so as much as in me I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are in Rome also that are at Rome also why why is he so ready to go to all these new places and preach the gospel I mean he's not smart he's not you know it's not that he thought he was dumb it's just that he wasn't you know the wisest person he knew that you know he wasn't eloquent because verse 16 for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believe it to the Jew first and also the Greek because he's not ashamed of the gospel because it's God's power not his it's God's power that we're carrying out to Fresno every single week not ours it's not it's not us it's not my wisdom it doesn't matter how smart I am to go preach the gospel because it's God's wisdom it doesn't matter how well versed I am because it's not my words it's not my words I don't have to be a good speaker I don't have to be eloquent I don't have to come up with all these beautiful flowing words they're already here and it's not our power it's not our message it's we're just I mean what's the word ambassadors we're ambassadors of another message and it's God's message it's God's power so Paul may not have been a great speaker he may not as Moses Moses was worried about the same thing he may not have been an eloquent man yet as much as was in him he was not going to be shy about it he proclaimed the message so I mean I can't tell you I mean I can't tell you personally how many super quiet introverted people I know that are awesome soul winners I mean they're great soul winners to the point where when you know them personally and you know how quiet they are and then you go out soul winning with them you're just like you go out soul winning with them for the first time knowing who they are and how introverted they are and then you go soul winning with them I'm sure people like you all know people that I'm talking about you can think about these people you're just like they're just amazing soul winners I mean Paul is the greatest evangelist you know ever so you ought not let that stop you from proclaiming the word of God is the point I'm trying to make so if you're introverted and it is stopping you from proclaiming the word of God you know that's a disadvantage that's a serious disadvantage so they're introverted we see that can be a good thing when it comes to controlling our tongue and keeping us out of trouble and it could be a bad thing if it's keeping us from you know proclaiming the gospel to a lost and dying world the second thing the second thing that virtuosos and adventurers have in common is what I began the sermon off with they are creative and imaginative now look this is a serious advantage in life if you are creative and advantage imaginative that this is an advantage and you say why because because we're living in a time especially when practically nobody is we're living in a time look everyone I'm telling you everyone is in the box everyone's in the box everyone and it's because and it's because and you see it out soul winning it's because they're all hypnotized they're hypnotized by tv they're hypnotized by pop culture and they're just they're just going along with everyone else on everything I mean you think to yourself you think to yourself why in the world would you do something I mean think about this why would you do something just because that's what everybody else does yet that's what everyone's doing they're just doing that they've removed people have removed rational thought from their lives and they're just going along with what everybody else is doing there's so many examples of this I can't even list them all here I saw this one again today soul winning wearing a mask by yourself driving in your car what in the world you know okay you buy it into the mass thing that's fine that's your business you want to do that but you're so I mean you're so irrational at this point and you're just you're just like following everything that anyone ever tells you that you're you're scared of your own self I don't even under you can't even circular logic that one I mean it doesn't make any sense you know moral change just accepting everything just because everybody else accepts it no matter what I mean public school because everybody else does it you don't like it but everybody else does it so then we have to do it now you know it's I mean the look the zombie apocalypse is here we're living it I mean thank god for the bible it doesn't matter what everybody else does what everybody else follows I mean this is our guide that's it and even as far as creativity goes that's all dying too it's all dying it's going along with with as the status quo just sinks lower and lower and lower creativity is almost dead but Uzziah turned to Proverbs 29 Uzziah built engines and towers and wells and weapons I mean the man the man was creative he was imaginative the man had a vision the man had a vision look at Proverbs 29 look at Proverbs 29 18 he had a plan the bible says in Proverbs 29 18 it says where there is no vision the people perish but he that keepeth the law happy is he look I mean the bible here is talking about being creative and imaginative and having a leader having a vision on where he wants to go and I mean and that makes the difference on whether or not the people that are with him die or not I mean that's pretty serious so he was building this infrastructure these machines so much so look so much so that the bible mentions all the things that he was actually building but what but look just like every other thing every other advantage that we're talking about in this series you're like I'm not an adventurer I'm not a virtuoso I could never be creative wrong the point of this sermon series is so you you can all have you can all have the advantages that we talk about here go back to 2nd Chronicles 26 how do I know let's follow Uzziah's model and you can be creative and imaginative too look at 2nd Chronicles 26 you're like I want to be creative I want to be creative with my family at home I want to be creative and educating my children I want to be creative and imaginative and I want to raise kids that are creative and imaginative well let's let's look at the model I want to have ideas that work so I can maybe get some better skills and I can get in some better places so I can improve my family and better support my family look at 2nd Chronicles 26 we can be creative and imaginative I'm not either one of these things here's what we need to do 16 years old look at verse number three 16 years old was Uzziah when he began to reign I mean you're pretty hard on Uzziah you know the whole like you know deciding to be a priest on him you know on his own and the leprosy thing not a great ending I get it but the guy reigned for 52 years I mean that's a long time go study the kings you know there's a lot of four years there's a lot of six years there's a lot of seven years there's some one years there's some less than a year I mean but there's not a lot of I mean David was 40 years Solomon was 40 years this guy reigned for 52 years his mother's name was also Jecoliah of Jerusalem and he did that was was right in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Amaziah did and verse number five what did he do so he did what was right in the sight of the Lord look lots of the kings they you know the kings will start out their history in their life he did that was was evil in the sight of the Lord or he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord there's not that many that did that which was right in the sight of the Lord however this was a little bit further he took a step further here look at verse five so he did that was was right in the sight of the Lord he did what his father did so his father you know was was was doing what was right in the sight of the Lord and it says according to all that his father Amaziah did. So he did the right things that Amaziah did, is what the Bible was saying, but then he went further. The Bible says in verse number five, and he sought God. He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had the understanding and the visions of God. Look, this guy, so here's, I'm gonna give you a two-step plan. Here's a two-step plan to become creative and imaginative in your life, because look, any ideas you have, any ideas Uzziah had, any visions that he had that were good, that were good for his kingdom, good for his people. Look, they didn't come from him, I know it. They came, there's a reason the Bible gives us the pretext to what Uzziah did, from his army to his infrastructure, to all his machines and engines and all these cool things. Look, the reason that that happened is because of verses number three through five. He sought the Lord. So step one in becoming creative and imaginative is seek the Lord. Seek the Lord in your life. Look, do what you're supposed to do in your life. Sell out for the Lord in your life. This is just step one. If you can't do this part, you're never gonna make step two. So sell out for the Lord, work hard at everything you do, gaining knowledge, especially of things of the Lord along the way. That's step one. Okay, now here's a good one. Here's what you do. What did he do in verse five? He sought the Lord. Here's what you do. You sell out for the Lord in your life and then here's what you do. You pray for creativity. You pray for God to give you a vision. Not a vision like, you know, of unicorns. I'm talking about a path. Creativity.  Look, that's a prayer that God's gonna answer. You do that. You seek the Lord. You sell out for the Lord. You seek the Lord. You just get in this thing and then pray for creativity and call me in six months and let me know how that's going. It'll work. It'll work. We can all have, I mean, look, we can all have these creative tendencies that virtuosos and adventurers have. I mean, just follow King Uzziah's example. Seek the Lord. Follow the Lord. Seek the Lord. Pray. You know, pray for these things. So those are some advantages. Let's look at some weaknesses. There are some combined weaknesses that they both share as well. And let me just read for you the secular weaknesses that I'm gonna put together here. Adventurers are unpredictable. Virtuosos, dislike, commitment. They have risky behavior and they're easily bored. So these two things I'm gonna combine into one package called they're, you know, they're unstable. They're not stable. They're unstable. Turn to James chapter one. The Bible would call this instability. James chapter one. Instability is one of these disadvantages that has the ability to cancel out all your advantages. If you're unstable, it doesn't really matter how advantaged you are in other places because this one thing can cancel all of that out. So it's pretty serious. Look at James chapter one, verse eight. The Bible says a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. I've preached an entire sermon on just being unstable. It's bad. You don't wanna be unstable in your life. Look, this one thing, it stops people from serving the Lord. It stops people.   You'll drop out of everything.  You'll drop out of things. You'll stop things. You'll quit things at home. You'll not be stable. You'll not have a good routine for your children. You'll not be able to properly implement biblical child-rearing techniques with your family. I mean, it's a disaster if you're unstable.  You'll move from job to job to job. Look, somebody that can't hold down a job is unstable and they're double-minded. There's a major problem there. There's a major problem if you have somebody that has had eight jobs in a year or two. I mean, that's a problem. There's something going on there. Look, we've all had a bad job. Okay, I just can't work here, whatever. But that doesn't happen eight times in a row. Okay, there's trends that pop up. But the first thing is this. Remember the two-step plan? If you're unstable, you will never be stable in seeking the Lord. So if you're unstable, you'll never be stable in your Christian life and you've already lost on step one of the plan.  I mean, and look, you'll never get good at anything if you can't stick to anything. I mean, somebody told me one time that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at anything and that's pretty true. 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. And it doesn't matter what that something is. Soul winning, plumbing, electrical work, whatever. 10,000 hours, that's how long it takes to become an expert. So look, being unstable will ruin all these things. So that is something that has to change if that's a tendency that you have. I mean, you say, well, I get into something and I just don't like it.  It's not that the person who's stable just likes everything and never has a bad time.  They don't quit, they keep going. They go through that hard time until they get out of the valley and start coming up the hill once again. The unstable person, they say, well, it's bad. I don't like it. I'm gonna do something different. They're double-minded. Everything's always a question. That's what double-minded means. It means everything, they're walking through their life. I actually feel bad for them. If you're a double-minded person, I actually kind of feel sorry for you because if you're double-minded, it means that you're walking through life and everything's a question. Should I go or should I not go? Should I stay or should I not? Should I get up or should I not? Everything's, I mean, it must be so confusing. Whereas a stable person just does what they do no matter what comes at them. That's why it's so important to be stable and not to be unstable or double-minded.  This is what I'm gonna do and I'm gonna do it no matter what and I'm gonna continue doing it no matter what. And look, that's how you have to look at your Christian life. It's not gonna be all happy and flowers all the time. There's gonna be bad times. There's gonna be valleys in your life and everything. You just have to make the decision that you're always gonna keep going.  What's the second one? The second one, turn to John chapter 14. They both, they both share this idea and I'm calling this a disadvantage but they both adventurers and virtuosos both share this idea that they're big into freedom of expression. And stubbornness and inability, stubbornness, inability to adhere to rules. I mean, they both share this characteristic. That's not a good thing in the Christian life. Because look, this is kind of like a book of rules.  The law, the gospel's in here but the law's in here too. Okay, so look, turn to John 14, 15. I'm sure you all have it memorized. If you love me, keep my commandments. Stubbornness and inability to follow rules is not gonna go well with John 14, 15. Look, expressing yourself and going your own way, this is secular garbage.  This is secular garbage that's being taught to the upcoming generations. Go your own way, find yourself, all this stuff. No, go this way is what we're trying to teach here. Go the Bible way. We need to go the Bible way. It's the only way that will actually lead us to where we need to be. So we see that there's some advantages that they both share. There's some disadvantages that they both share. But there's one point that I wanted to bring up where they both differ. That's a very interesting little study here. But the virtuoso is calm and collected, they call it. And then the adventurer is easily, on the opposite of this, is easily panicked and stressed out. Okay, so now, look, there's ups and downs to each one of these. The virtuoso and the adventurer are together on a lot of things, but they differ on this one thing. The virtuoso, I wanna say it again, is calm and collected. You're like, how could that ever be bad? And then the adventurer is easily panicked, they get hyped up quickly, stressed out quickly. But look, how could being calm and collected ever be a disadvantage? Let me start with this one. Well, I mean, some situations call for alarm. I mean, when a house is on fire, I mean, that's caused for alarm, literally. That's why we have fire alarms. So you ever met a person where things were just crazy and there was action needed and they just never got excited about anything? You ever met that person? You just couldn't light a fire under them for anything. I mean, this is that guy at work where you just can't get him to care about anything.  And you're like, man, we're all gonna get fired. Are you gonna get excited and do something? You know? And look, this is the teenager today. This is the teenager today. I mean, they just, what in the world? It's like they're not all there. It's like they're not all there. Look, not you teenagers. But I'm just saying, these are the teenagers we knock on their door and they're just like, I don't think they're on drugs either. That's, you know, if they're on drugs, at least there's an explanation. But it's just, they're different. They're different and I've seen it change in the last 10 years.  They just don't care. They just don't get excited.    You can't get them, they just don't care about much at all. They're too calm. They're too calm. You know, you can't get them excited.  You know, but look.    What are the options? Heaven sounds pretty good. Hell, ooh, that's not good. Wanna make sure I'm not going to that one. That would be the rational thought there. But it just, there's not that care anymore. There's not that care. It's like I said, they've been hypnotized. They've been hypnotized. They've been, you know, they've been literally hypnotized. I mean, don't tell me that all these screens and these constant devices in your face constantly are not changing people. It is changing people. We are watching it happen today. But what's the other side of this? The other side of just being calm and you can never get excited about anything is just this person that's just panicking all the time. You know, that's the opposite.  Not getting panicked in that situation but you know, panicking is never really good. So let's think about this. Where's the balance? Turn to Philippians chapter four. Where's the balance? Say something, let's talk about handling stress. Where's the balance between complete calmness all the time and just hair on fire panic all the time? Where's the balance? Well, I'm glad the Bible, you know, tells us everything. Look at Philippians chapter four and verse number six.  I've got problems. I don't know whether just to be calm about it or to panic. Look at Philippians chapter four and verse number six. The Bible says, be careful for nothing. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God.   It's saying, don't be so careful for things but in everything instead, ask God. It's saying in everything just in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, come to God with respect, let your requests be made known unto God. So look, don't forget to pray about your problems. Don't forget to pray about your problems. And then don't make quick decisions in times of crisis. I mean, an otherwise person once told me some old guy that I grew up around said basically, never make a decision when, you know, right after something bad's happened and you're stressed out, that's pretty good advice. Instead, you know, you should just go, you should calm down. You should say something just happens.  Just calm down and just bring it, stop and bring it to the Lord in prayer.  Identify solutions. And this is where I do thought experiments with solutions. I mean, I identify three solutions to a problem and just think through it. Just like, what happens if I take option one? What are the possibilities of things that could happen? What if I take option two? What are those possibilities of things that could happen? What about option three? What are those possible? And you know what, it'll be pretty clear, especially if you know the Bible and you've stopped and you've prayed. It'll be pretty clear on what you should do in those situations.  And then, of course, take action on these things. Take action. Do something about it. I mean, problems just, many problems are gonna require your action to solve them. Once you identify, you've prayed, you've identified the solution you wanna take, then you take that action. So, virtuosos and adventurers. Look, I'm not either of these. But once again, you know, once again we see that while they have certain tendencies, and I just wanna reiterate this again, the virtuoso and the adventurer, they have certain tendencies, they have some advantages. And you say, I'm not either of these and I wanna be creative. Well, you can be. You can be creative and they have some disadvantages. But look, by seeking the Lord, by following His will and not ours, we don't have to be a slave to these certain traits that were, these boxes that were put in by these studies. So we can have numerous advantages and we may not have secular, we can have advantages that we may not have that tendency towards, according to this study. You can still be creative. I mean, why in the world just answer me this question. Look, I've done this and it works. Okay, I've had some pretty cool ideas throughout my career. I don't know where they came from.  It's a full blown patent. This company's made millions of dollars. I made a dollar. But look, and it was a problem that we had at one of the plants that I was at. And you know what, you know where I thought of the solution? I was putting a fence post in with Garrett. I can still remember the exact place I was. I was putting a fence post in and I was digging a hole in the ground. Literally digging in the dirt and it just came to me. Look, that wasn't from me. But I pray for solutions. I pray for creativity. I don't know where that came from. I'm not the smartest guy in the room, just like Paul.   All you have to do is seek him and pray for it. You don't have to be a virtuoso. You don't have to be on some chart, on some internet test that you took. You can be as creative as you want to be. Just seek the Lord and just ask God for creativity. Why would God not help you be creative? Why would God not, you're like, I want to work really hard and I want to support my family? Because the Bible says that I should do that. And you pray, God let me work hard and help me do this. And then you actually do it. And then you pray for creativity. Why in the world would God not answer that prayer?  I mean, God's a better father than you. These are prayers that are gonna be answered. And we have to look at prayers. I mean, take advantage of these prayers in your life that you know will be answered in a positive way. God, give me a billion dollars. Probably not gonna do that for your own protection. But God, help me do what the Bible says. Probably gonna answer that one. So we can have these advantages no matter what category we're talking about. Thank God for the Bible. Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer.
