People were always telling the Lord to shape up and do things their way. When I think that I have a genie in the bottle god, I will always be upset at him because He is a very bad genie. The Lion of the tribe of Judah is not a tame lion! He does not […]
Did you ever notice at the rock concert how everyone fights to sit at the back and leave all the front seats empty? Or was that at the ball game? Come to think of it, it was at church wasn’t it? When we were homeschooling, I noticed the children constantly asking, (if not in these […]
Let your moderation be known unto all men. Philippians 4:5 God designed me to taste and see that things are good and pleasant and then want them again in his time and in moderation. First comes curiosity from watching others and then comes tasting and, when it is pleasant, dopamine is released and this primes […]

REPTILE BRAIN?
OR THE COMPLEX SEAT OF GODLY PASSION? As the story goes–the “primitive” passion brain developed first and then the bizarrely complex layers of the cortex later. So why are we attempting artificial logic but not artificial emotions. I’ll tell you. Passion is essential, and even more complex than thinking. We are born with the lymbic […]

I’m fond of pointing out that I am the shiest person ever. Of course, no one believes me because, by the grace of God, I am able to live above my shyness. Moses tried to get out of leading the Lord’s people because he claimed he could not talk. Was he just lying? I think […]

OOPS
Getting comfortable with imperfection In my last blog, I misspelled charity as cherity. I guess I could blame my spell-check because it doesn’t look at the title. The error did make me think of my fear of trying, of reaching out to share with others yet being afraid of doing things so poorly that they are not […]
