FRESH CONNECTIONS

James Olds, a professor of neuroscience
who directs the Krasnow Institute for
Advanced Study at George Mason University,
says that even the adult mind “is very plastic.”

Nerve cells routinely break old connections and form new ones.

“The brain,” according to Olds, “has the ability
to reprogram itself on the fly,
altering the way it functions.”













So, after all,

"... be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind..."

(Romans 12:2)


...is not too much to ask of anyone,
of any age,
of any culture,
of any background,
of any history,
or of any dysfunction.

Ready for some changes?

Go Ahead...









Put it to the test ...
ask God to open your eyes...
and watch what happens.




"...For the word of God is quick,
and
powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword...
"

Hebrews 4:12

"And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind,
that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable,

and perfect, will of God. "

Romans 12:2

Me? Brainwashed?









Oh - I wouldn't have it any other way!


Why, do you have ANY idea where my
thoughts
take me at times? You may not,
but I do.







Aside from the immoral,
hateful
or
revengeful
thoughts that come...
and
thoughts of depression
or despair...










come the suggestions that I
cling to this
world...

"Eat, drink and be merry!"
"Be the center of your world!"

as though I am all that matters.

Brainwashed?
I welcome it!

"Washed by the water of the Word..."
Bring it on... open the Flood Gates!


















That I might think like He thinks,

in every situation.

And that I might realize,
without Him, all is sheer vanity.

So, shower me with Your Word, Oh God...

And make You the center of my world.
You, Who loves me so!
knows me most!
and forgives me over and over and over...
