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.
He has planted my feet on high ground.
His words of truth are a rock and firm foundation.
What have I to do with this world of darkness…

A Six Week Experiment
Yesterday, I started an experiment that will last for six weeks. This kind of experiment is suggested in the books that I am reading concerning Neuroscience and Scripture.
Every day for the next six weeks, I am going to read 1 Corinthians 13. On some days, I will read it several times. For the first week, I intend to consider the entire…

It’s been a couple of weeks since I started this experiment. This morning, as I was reading 1 Cor. 13:5, I was especially drawn to ” it is not irritable or resentful” (English Standard Version). It seemed to me that other translations said this a little differently. Here are a few.
is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; (King James…

I really like that exercise with scripture. Theres nothing God cant say with all that! We went thru the fruit of the spirit, one fruit a day, while working in Ukraine for 2 weeks. Each day was a new word to meditate on all day as we worked and it was a really neat experience.

This dynamic occurs between parents and their children as well as between couples and friends. Different people have varying degrees of need for either closeness or separation. Too much of either one begins…

Thank you Cara. This is a very good article and the activities seem like they would be fun. I know that I use land marks more than I use addresses.

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,…
