ThirstySouls 4 weeks agoZebras and Lions
Have you ever been grabbed by a book title? I have. Recently, I ran across a book titled “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” by Robert M. Sapolsky. That caught my attention. Over the past year, I’ve been pulled into the world of neuroscience and trying to learn about dementia. Both my parents suffered with dementia and I wanted to learn what I could…

bopbop started the discussion The Brain As We Age in the forum ThirstySouls 6 weeks ago
Brain health has gained a special place in my heart. Both of my parents had dementia before passing away. I understand what it’s like to lose someone twice; once before they die and when they die. This also concerns me as I’m aging, because I don’t want my children to have to go through what I went through with my parents. The big question in…

ThirstySouls 2 months agoExpectations: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Expectations. We all have them. Some are big, some are small, and some we don’t even think about. Do you expect to take your next breath? Did you think about breathing? Probably not. We have expectations about relationships, jobs, income, the future, and on and on.
There’s nothing wrong with having expectations as long as they are healthy.…

Transition As Wellness
Great fellowship this morning with @bopbop and Eddie Dunn of Civilian Ready! Both told stories of the brotherhood and trials of formation in their military service and carriers — both experienced God’s miraculous provision delivering them from participation in violence tangled up in situations where the world’s gone wrong.
Eddie and his…

ThirstySouls 2 months agoWhy is TRUST so hard?
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 NLT
“But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. Jeremiah 17:7 NLT
Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:4 ESV
Throughout the Scriptures, we are told to trust in the…

This makes me think about the “wisdom from below” and the “wisdom from above” in James 3:13-18. The “street smarts” from earthly living is really psychological programming on the animalistic/survival level. That programming tells us not to trust — not to be a sucker — until we have it in our hand or taste it in our mouth. Only the wisdom…

ThirstySouls 2 months agoTeens Want to Be Good Big Brothers and Sisters
The other day one of my teen sons was giving his four-year-old brother a hard time. The four-year-old had done something offensive and the teen was “putting him in his place”. I interrupted and mentioned to the teen that he was expecting something from his little brother that was WAY beyond his natural brain development.
After my comment, I…

ThirstySouls 3 months agoTry to Imagine
At this point I’d like to invite you to pause and direct your attention to what you perceive your embodied responses to be when you consider what it means to “trust” God. Your embodied responses are what you sense in your body upon imagining Jesus telling you, “Indeed, it is finished. It’s all done. All those things that we both know keep…
