  1. The pastoral prayer and sermon today were all about the separated border children, and helping the oppressed. It would probably shock 90% in this forum. 
    Happy Father’s Day to you dads. 


    What did you think about it?
  2. The whole premise that it's only a perception and somehow that it's not a big deal... well we are human beings. Perceptions matter a lot... and eventually perceptions seeps into how one thinks... and that will eventually translate into behavior.

  3. I find this very interesting.  For too many reasons to go into (but mostly because my HS daughter is strongly leaning towards an undergrad -> PhD program in Psychology with a focus on research), I've recently had the chance to sit down with a couple of UT Psychology profs.
    From what I've been told, it seems the research (as opposed to counseling) faction of the Psychology world is somewhat dismissive of a lot of "truths" and techniques that were once taken as gospel.  This article seems aligned with what I've heard.  These folks are strongly data-driven, and basically said there are almost no data to support many of the pet psychological theories that have been around for decades or longer.  In some cases, they said the data indicate the opposite of what the theories teach.
    Hmmm.


    I think it’s just the field becoming more mature and owning up to past reliances and biases from certain studies making it to publication.

    My wife is a counseling psych, and she continues to keep up with research and evidence based practices. It’s not something unique to research psychology.

    But you see it’s ok if he doesn’t cause he’s playing to his base and that’s all that matters cause he’s smart like that.
