My alma-mater, Colorado State University, publishes a quarterly magazine. A 2001 student-athlete, A. Bimper,<\/a> was interviewed for his phenomenal exercise of hard-work. He admitted he had no clue about what it took to succeed in college, because his parents never attended, or advocated for, college. But Bimper did go to college and took with him the intent to succeed.<\/p>\n

Bimper now holds a Ph.D. and serves a dual role at CSU as senior associate athletics director for diversity and inclusion and assistant professor of ethnic studies.
\nThe title of the article is, \u201cScience of Learning.\u201d There is a science to learning.<\/p>\n

Science doesn\u2019t belong only to physical forces and explorations. Science is knowledge, a method of understanding and application.<\/p>\n

Science can be applied to most anything, including Christianity. The knowledge and application of Christianity produces better results than the rituals and creeds of Christianity.<\/p>\n

Christianity is the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. His teachings stress one God, one nature and an unbreakable connection, including the connection of love and health, spirit and joy.<\/p>\n

The science of Christianity is the knowledge and application of spiritual laws.<\/p>\n

Spiritual laws, such as loving our neighbors as ourselves, forgiveness and moral courage, are applied in everyday life. It requires hard-mental-work. It requires the recognition that here is no end to the supply of love, forgiveness, moral courage <\/a>and patience.<\/p>\n

Our minds are adaptable to God, the infinite source of love and purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
