Renewal
The morning, sun, glistening off the wet leaves and spiderwebs. A normally quiet stream resounding with the sound of spring snow melt. Birds that have been away for the winter return and add their joyful songs.
The sites, sounds, and smells of springtime abound. They are all reminders of the abundance which our Father supplies. The signs…

One of the first steps is recognizing that you are affected by the seasons. Winter seems to be the most common time for SAD, but I find that any time there are long periods of no sunshine can also be difficult. I think for me it’s about being outside.
I’m willing to give these ideas a try and I want to be more mindful about getting a good…

A Personal Psalm
Blessed be our God. He is worthy of all praise.
The Lord has rescued me from the darkness.
He has lifted me from the recesses of my own mind.
He has saved me from the depths of depression and despair.

His words of truth are a rock and firm foundation.
What have I to do with this world of darkness…

Things I Need On My Journey
For several months now, I have been on a journey toward mental and spiritual health. Along the way, I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the subject of Neuroscience and how it is showing things about the mind that Scripture has taught us for centuries. I’m learning a lot and growing in mind and spirit. Recently, I’ve realized that there are a…

This made me think of “faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (1 Cor 13:13 ESV). Hope produces the positive attitude of faith which, as it executes its belief, continues to builds up hope. Funny, Paul says this in the context of not loosing the simple center in the complexity of prophecy, tongues,…

The mind as a computer - Part One
Hardware:
I would never be mistaken for a member of the “Geek Squad.” In fact, I don’t know much about the workings of the hardware inside the computer. But I do know that it has circuit boards, power supplies, fans, heat sinks (?), a video card, a sound card, and who knows what else. All of these pieces are part of a certain design,…
