 New Drug Deletes Bad Memories
-
LiveScience
Scientists at Harvard and McGill University are designing a drug that will erase bad memories. Blocking biochemical pathways may allow patients to "forget" pain and trauma. How do memories, good and bad, shape who you are? Is this the best way to "forget what is behind"?
-
What role do you think memories play in your everyday life? Think of some ways good memories influence what you do, and share some specific examples. What about hard, painful, or bad memories--what have you taken away from those kinds of experiences?
-
Do you think it is a good idea to eliminate bad memories altogether? Why or why not?
-
See 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 and James 1:12. What good did Paul think could come out of his horrible situation? Why would someone who perseveres under trial be considered blessed? What effect do trials and heartaches have in the life of a believer?
-
See James 1:2-4. How do you think Christians should understand the trials in their lives? Think about the use of the word consider in this passage. Why is this particular word used? What does considering trials to be pure joy require?
-
See Psalm 119:11. How do you think hiding God's Word in your heart can help alleviate the pain of bad memories? How can it prevent you from experiencing some bad memories?
-
Is God's love more powerful than painful memories? See Romans 8:37. How do you think Christians should move forward with their lives? See Philippians 3:13-14 for a practical, drug-free solution.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
