Dr. Memory

We have had the privilege here at GCA for the last couple of days of hosting basketball great Jerry Lucas. Mr. Lucas is now known as Dr. Memory. Yes, he conquered the basketball court over 30 years ago. He was a household name. If he were playing today his fame would be comparable to Lebron James or Kobe Bryant.

Mr. Lucas isn't as widely known today as he once was. He shared his story with us. His team had just won the NBA title. He was named the MVP of that years All Star game. He was on top of the basketball world. "Something wasn't right inside" said Mr. Lucas. He went to a friend for help. That friend pointed him to Jesus. He had 3 years left on his NBA contract with the NY Knicks...and he walked away.

He has since devoted his life to God, and education. He has developed a system to teach people how to learn and memorize information better that what they were taught. I am sold. His method works. He spoke in church this past Sunday and I can still tell you all 10 points of his sermon. That is amazing.

It has been good to have him here. If only the kids at the Academy knew who they were listening to. What a story of true success! Thanks Mr. Lucas.
