I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW

Their is a phenomenon called blind sight where following certain types of brain lesions, patients have an inability to see objects, but if asked to guess the location of the object they are able to point at them with reasonable accuracy. I can't help but wonder if maybe some of those patients are not completely blind, but may be perceiving themselves as such, due to the fact that their vision has decreased so dramatically from what they are used to that they become certain that they must be blind.When pressed to give an answer on where something may be located the evidence shows that they may have retained some of their vision after all...now I'm no scientist this is just a theory of mine but I wanted to use the subject of blind sight as an example. How many of us are walking around with blind sight? Sometimes in life our vision can get so distorted that we start believing that our situation-what ever that situation hampering our life happens to be-is impossible and totally unchangeable, in effect we take what is quite possibly a lie and make it an actuality. What happens when we take our blinders off? Why, the possibilities are endless... :)

Blindsided

Sometimes the things you don’t see coming in life can blindside you the most: such as a family member being diagnosed with one of those scary words, that somewhere in the back of your mind you thought was reserved for TV medical dramas. I’ve learned that God is so much bigger than any fear that may try to creep into our heart. We’re human: flesh, and blood, God remembers our frame that we are dust...but He is eternal, our God who gives strength to the weak, and power to the powerless. I remember at what felt like my most hopeless moment, in a pit of disbelief at what was happening around me, and feeling so utterly alone, suddenly I could feel God’s Presence, palpably...it felt like I was surrounded totally, in His arms. The angst, and worry flew away, and I was completely at peace, and felt I could get through the rest of the day. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and is available to give us this comfort if we will come to Him. We don’t have to have it all together. Perhaps in your momen...

SPRING

I love the changing seasons, but their is just something special about Spring. I wake up to the sweet symphony of a dozen birds, the trees are dressed their very best-decked out in the prettiest blossoms, and it's as if all of nature is the new star of a sold out play. " SPRING IS HERE " It's a time of re-birth and renewal, and I can't help but feel optimistic about the future. It's inspiring to know that no matter how dark and cold the season of Winter may be, that Spring is waiting just around the corner.

THIS I KNOW IS TRUE

“ We all like stars floating through the night,  Flit from place to place trying to find our proper orientation-our alignment-...like a moth drawn to the flame of a distant fire we find our homing beacon: our true flame, It pulses and beckons us to begin again, Rising through the night and stirring within us an instinct as eternal as time, What happens when two stars collide? Could you be my supernova? “ There is not much that I know of this world which is vast in mysteries I must admit, but the things that I do know for a fact resonate within me because of thier truth. The existential question of why we were created is not an easy one to answer, and I’m sure it ranks up there as one of the top questions on most people’s minds-mine as well. Along with finding one’s purpose, and being true to what you believe. However there is some thing that I do know to be true. It is love which is unfailingly unconditional; it is a love which allows you to look beyond illusions, and find the thin...
