When reading reports from “scientists” it is important to realize that what they know is far, far, less than what they don’t know. And the gap widens every day. For the last twenty years at least, everyone I know, from friends to family to my wife, has been yelling at me for not splashing on gobs of sunscreen whenever I so much as walk outside to get into my truck. I ignored them. Yeah, if I was going out into the ‘Glades on unpaved roads for the entire day, I might consider it. The sun reflecting off of the white shell packed road could burn you even if you never left the vehicle. (Hey, this is Florida!). But generally, I stayed away from sunscreen. And why was everyone on the planet screaming at me to coat myself with this goop? Scientists, that’s why.

Now comes along a report that says some types of cancer can be related to a deficiency of vitamin D, obtained best through sunshine! The story is pretty interesting, go read it here.

Of course, there are politics involved, as well as reputations to be damaged by such news. But the thing to remember is that scientists are not all knowing. In fact, they are hardly know anything. Worse, most work at colleges and universities, and thus reside in a world that is amazingly different than real life. So, my advice is to trust God and live in moderation, and try not to put too much stock into “scientists”.

At the grocery store yesterday, those stupid “kid carts”. They take a regular sized shopping cart and built a shell over it that looks like a racing car, and the little kids can sit up front behind steering wheels. As it is, the aisles are so narrow from the store putting displays everywhere that two people can’t pass each other without sucking in their guts and turning sideways. Now we have to deal with these giant kid carts??? Arrrggggg

I purchase KIWI shoe sponges. Every week. I use them to shine my work shoes each morning. They are about a buck in price and they work wonders. On the stores inventory tracking system, they must see that this is a good selling item. Yesterday, they are gone. Replaced by other products. Aggrrrr. Same thing with the Barbecue wings I purchase. Gone. Also, the same with the low carb bars I was purchasing. Gone. You know, if an item is being purchased on a regular basis ya think they would notice it.

Back to those kid friendly shopping carts. As bad as they are, I would rather have them instead of the newer computer carts. Or the “Big Brother Carts” as I call them. (Article here) These carts have a wireless computer in them, and when you scan your “Store Loyalty Card” through it will bring up your shopping list, tell you what is expired back at home, and generally invade your personal privacy and stockpile a database on you. I can see Homeland Security raiding the store to get your shopping habits. You buy 73 jars of hot sauce and 25 bottles of ketchup and bam! Ya on the no-fly list.

While I’m yaking about grocery stores, I might as well spew out my number one complaint. The peanut butter is NOT next to the jelly! The spaghetti is NOT next to the Spaghetti sauce. Hot dogs are NOT next to beans! The milk is NOT next to the Oreo cookies! What is wrong with these people!!!???

Peace out people.

I believe that we are three, sort of. Actually, we are just one – our Soul. That is us. But our Soul is a heavenly being, and cannot exist alone in this world. So, God designed a vehicle form us. Something to drive around while on this world. We call that our body. Now, at any given nano second, our body has dozens and dozens of automatic functions going on. Blood flowing, hair growing, breathing to name only a few. Our bodies are extremely complicated, and require a computer to manage all of the functions. That is our brain. Our brain is a computer that has been programmed to run the body. However, because the body may experience things not found in the lab, so to speak, the brain has to be programmed to learn and grow and adapt it’s programming to suit the environment. The brain-computer can teach the body how to swim. How to drive a car. Walk.

SO, we have this vehicle that can propel us about the planet, and a computer to manage the vehicle and learn and grow. Our Soul resides within that computer. Once our Soul becomes integrated into the entire system, we then become vulnerable. Our brain does not know right or wrong. It knows that if it finds the body suddenly in a body of water, it better figure out how to make the body swim pretty fast. But the brain learns bad things too. It learns meanness. Fear. Worry. And the body, in realty, is simply a primitive animal body, with animal needs for food, sex and football. So, the brain is somewhat influence by the needs of this primitive animal body.

And that brain then influences our Soul.

The concept of Right and Wrong cannot be understood by either the animal body or the computer brain. Only the Soul can comprehend that.

The Soul-Brain-Body becomes one person. And how much that person listens to the primitive animal’s urges, or how much the computer brain learns bad habits all influences who the person becomes.

Some people live more in the body, the flesh. Some people more the brain, computer. Christ wants us to live in our Soul.

The bible talks about walking in the flesh, or walking in the light. Our Soul is light -energy. When the animal body dies, the computer brain will die too. The Soul will depart from the flesh, and enter whatever dimension Heaven exists. The bible talks about us having Heavenly bodies in Heaven.

How does the Soul, a non-material substance interact with the body and brain, both material substances? The philosophers have been trying to figure that out for thousands of years. Probably has something to do with multiple dimensions or quantum mechanics.

Anyway, this is just something deep to think about. I would be interested in your thoughts on this. Post a comment.
