Oh, my! Oh my! If Only I Had A Brain. I would feed only one side!

In the beginning, GOD…Whom has always provided the subject matter for my weekly blogs has done it again. But this time, more vividly.

Suddenly, while meditating on a few memorable life experiences concerning my relationship with the Holy Spirit, a big expandable smile began forming all across my face. I imagined I heard a still small voice whisper extremely softly, ‘Blog about me‘. The unction came from out of my heart, into my head, wrapped itself around my mind and flooded my brain. The final punch line of this thought was ‘my child, you’ve got the sequence all wrong. This thought has come directly from your heavenly Father!’

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, (Philippians 2:5)

Wow, I thought. What a revelation!

In 2018, I had formed a creative writer’s club at my senior-living apartment resident. One of the courses I facilitated was entitled “Writing With The Right Or Left Side Of Your Brain“. But, from the start, I informed the class that one word we would sparingly use was “Creative” to describe what we were all about. Why? I explained that the word “Creative” also brings along with it three more “C” words that are deadly, namely; CRAP, CRITICISM, and CONSTIPATION. Said another way, it instills pride and despair. None of these postures are helpful if you want to have fun at producing readable and entertaining work.

So, when the Holy Spirit prompted me to blog about the First Person of the Holy Trinity (God), I sat at my desk in awe…filled with admiration, humility and wonderment. I prayed; “Oh brain, don’t fail me now, cuz I know how you function.

Left Brain Functions Academic and logical Controls the left side of the body

The Moral Of The Story:

So, as the Holy Spirit guided me along a path that allowed me to receive a deeper understanding of the functions of the brain. All I can say is Thank You, God. Thank you for creating mankind with a two-part brain. God knew from the beginning that Adam and Eve (plus mankind) would need skill sets for both the Garden of Eden and the New World. The Garden of Eden offered free ‘getting'(*). The banishment of Adam and Eve out into the world would cost them something.

I now refer to the Right side of the brain as Knowledge. (Expensive)

I refer to the Left side of the brain as Wisdom. And Wisdom is free. (Bargain)

(*) NOTES – EXAMPLES BELOW

A person knows (Left Brain) a Lake of water is deep. A person doesn’t realize (Right Brain) how deep the water is until he or she is drowning.
