Lockdown 14

Lockdown Day 14 - 9 April 2020 

Free will - in Lockdown? Well I suppose it depends how you look at it. Anatomically your free will is located in the front of the Corpus Callosum (connects the left and right hemispheres) in the brain. All thoughts, external personal comments as well as internal conversations first go via your neurons (brain cells acting as pathways) to the free will, where it either gets accepted or rejected. The accepted thought travels to certain parts of the brain where it is pondered, nurtured and stored. The rejected thought literally vanishes like a puff of hot air! So it makes sense that you seriously think about what you are thinking about! So, when I once again stood in front of my cupboard today, I was conscious of the fact that two thoughts were competing for their existence. One was, “Do I really need to do this TODAY, when winter is still a month away?” and the second was, “Put on the music you’ve not enjoyed in months and JUST DO IT and think how great you will feel once it’s done!” Yesterday I fed the first thought. Today I fed the second. Although both had merit, the second was a looming necessity with great reward: finding anything easily, enjoying the luxury of a clean critter free cupboard, also being able to whip out my boots at a moment’s notice without wondering who have been living in them (aptly said by my coffee friend Michelle)! Now that the Prez has announced we are in this until end of April, I find myself in front of the fridge: Thought one, “Glühwein!” and thought two: “Brownies!”  While both have merit....... I suspect you know what I'm thinking! Either way, we are going to bed tonight with a lot to digest (a combo of Glühwein and Brownies is going to take ages). 

After picking up a little feather again, I know for sure:  as long as we take this to God, we know there will be an answer, there will be a way and there will surely be provision. Look up, look to our Almighty Provider, because He’s still got this!
