Fear quietly motivates us to seek information - or at least stay away from our heart.

Fear constricts, separates and causes division. It often leads to assumption. I've found it keeps me from seeking out truth and sincerely desiring to understand people and situations. It shrouds and intimidates. It causes us to categorize things into nice boxes that we try to control. There are many physical side effects to negative emotions - especially fear. Fear (and other emotions) is generally a manifestation of what the heart believes (because of what it has experienced), regardless of what the brain understands to be true.

The only reason I know the above to be true is because of my own research and experience.  As one who has dealt with severe fear issues I've also experience its fruit.  Digestion tract disorders, ulcers and tight muscles are said to be side effects of fear.  I've dealt with forms of each of those.

When we leave our heart untouched and choose to live in our mind - we miss reality and walk in real danger.

A person can have a Master's in Clinical Counseling and yet be in deep need of counseling themselves. A person can have the highest IQ and yet waste his life on drugs, etc.

We live in the age of information and our problems are only getting worse. Information isn't the answer and neither is knowing about God. Certainly - seeking the difference between good and evil is not helping anyone - it doesn't give us the strength to choose - only Love can do that.

To Live or to Die

Its better to feel pain then nothing at all.

But we all get to choose whether we will live or die while we walk this earth.

And as we all should know, we live among the walking dead.


Out of the heart are the issues of life - Jesus.

Q and A about the life of the Partridge

Q: What do you call it when a Partridge is found in the middle of the forest with a friend, happily eating peaches and pears?

A: A pair of party partridges on a picnic

And when the pair of party partridges in the middle of the forest get bugged by flying pest from a nearby nest, its called a 'peachy pair of party partridges on a pesty picnic.

Now when a party partridge on a peachy picnic gets pestered by flying pest from a nearby nest, no one really cares about peaches or pears because the pests thinks its theirs.  And these pests aren't normal, their really a mess and just couldn't care less, for partridges on picnics who don't like pests. But peaches and pairs - oh, what do you know, their eyes begin to stare, and suddenly their noses are all up in the air. Not far is the nest of these nasty little pest and suddenly they swarm, like wind from the west - smelling the peaches and pears that the partridges left.

When this happens its called: A pair of party partridges on a pesty fruitless picnic sadly peering through the swarm of pests who are proudly eating what is left.

Hand Sanitizer & Religion

Hand Sanitizer and religion have some unique similarities.

1. It's what people use when they get scared.
2. With prolonged use your immune system becomes severely damaged.
3. It kills 99.99% of everything - both good and bad.
4. It's one more thing to use to protect yourself from evil.
5 It's quick and easy and doesn't take much Faith.
6. Usually used with good intentions.
7. You find yourself urging friends and family to use it - for their protection.
8. Dissolves very quickly once out of its bottle (or box) and leaves a nasty smell.
9. Doesn't solve 100% of anything.
10.For external use only.

Information will never change our hearts unless it leads to an experience.

Won't you let Me love you more - this is all that I desire. Jesus

Unless Your light shines on the motives of my heart, I can't truly repent. If not for Your light my heart would remain rooted in selfishness & fear.
