Summary

It's safe to say that most of us would agree with the popular aphorism "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." That unforgettable phrase first entered the collective American mind in 1972 as the slogan for UNCF ads, helping that worthy organization raise billions of dollars in scholarships for African American college students. It has since become part of the American vernacular, expressing a truth that resonates for all thinking people: Every mind is valuable and worthy of investment and development. It also suggests that the mind is a renewable resource, or, as Leonardo da Vinci quipped (though not in English), "Learning never exhausts the mind." In other words, the more we invest in the mind, the more it will give back.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest
0:13.0	privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every
0:18.6	week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad
0:24.6	that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.
0:38.6	Hi, it's Sally today and so many of you have been joining me this week as we've been launching
0:43.9	our new book, The Life Giving Parent and I have had so much fun being able to interview
0:49.7	people that have become my friends. I love how ministry and work and creativity connects me to
0:58.7	some of the most amazing people. So I am thrilled today to be able to tell you that today I have
1:04.9	Aaron Lockner on my show and hi Aaron. Hi, Sally, what a treat to be here with you. Well, I have
1:14.3	been an admirer of your designs and I would look at all of the different beautiful things that you
1:20.0	had made and I would look at some of the Pinterest things and I would think, you know, God, I wish I had
1:26.2	that skill, but I don't. I mean, I have skills for other things, but I really love what you do. So I
1:33.2	would love for you to tell my audience a little bit about yourself. I know you have two young
1:39.2	children, but I want you to tell them what you've done in your area of creativity and in your work and
1:47.0	then we'll get going. Oh, of course. Okay. Well, I was raised in the Midwest and in just it, it's
1:55.4	funny how you say, you know, you wish that you had that spark of creativity. I always wish that I
2:02.4	had it. I thought that design was, you know, vain or no, that it was a right that it was wasted on
2:10.2	consumerism and everything. I was raised in just a very frugal, practical home. And so for a long
2:16.2	time, I kind of, you know, pushed it to the side thinking that I should it should be a nurse or a
2:21.7	teacher like everyone else in my family. And I didn't. And, you know, I think God that he gently
