The call to teach is a gift from the Lord (1 Corinthians 12:8), and the Bible proclaims in 1 Timothy 4:14a to “neglect not the gift that is in thee” (King James Version).

How do I make something for dinner? How do I sew a button on? I want to put up a bookshelf. I want to order something online. Do you know how to do those things? There are plenty of smart capable people who don't. For the wealthy, it might not matter. Help is only a phone call and a credit card away.

My previous article deals with “How to Live With Depression”. It is stated in the article that depression affects all age groups and all races. It is the doctor who can accurately diagnose such disorder because he or she may perform physical examination and other tests to the patient. However, experts believe that the earlier we recognize warning signs of depression, the better for the depressed individual, because he or she can immediately get medical attention.
The last two articles have focused on the criminal mind, and it focused mainly on the mindset of male serial killers. We don’t often hear about female serial killers, but they are also quite common. Women often go undetected as serial killers because the very idea of a woman being the offender goes against the perceived roles of women. Women are perceived as givers and nurturers.

Criminal profilers can identify the type of person that will commit certain types of serial murders. If you are interested in criminal psychology, or you want to understand more about the criminal mind, please keep reading.
This article is inspired by the TV series, Criminal Minds. While this article is inspired by the TV show, it is not about the show or even a review of the show.
