Hello my friends,
I realize that it has been ages since I have posted something. I guess with everything going on in my life, priorities shift and things get either moved farther down the list of things to do. Sometimes things like blogging even get forgotten about until something jogs your memory. What seemed to jog my memory was I was reading Emily's blog and thinking to myself maybe I should do this, and share my thoughts with people.. Then it hit me, that I used to do that already. So after a bit of searching and trying to remember my password, I was able to log into the blog site. So that brings me to now. It is currently 12:33 and I am awake. The reason I am awake is because my nerves or nerve endings actually have gone bonkers and I can't stop itching. So I have taken some meds for the problem and I am waiting for it to kick in.
I got to thinking the other day, how amazing our nervous system is. Every part of our body is controlled by and or equipped with nerves. They control everything from our heart beating to me typing this blog. It is mind boggling that you could poke yourself with a pin and in the matter of nano seconds you feel the pain. It took a great God.. Our God to create us and to create this nerve super highway. Also the five senses we have are controlled by nerves. God also thought to make the five senses redundant. I mean if you were to lose your sight, your ears and hands step up to try and make up for the loss. The same goes for hearing, the other senses will step up to help. Something interesting I just looked up. The speed of a nerve impulse travels approx 350 meters per second. I did not know that (thanks Google) :-)
Something regarding nerves that I did not realize. I was watching a program on TV a few months ago and it had to do with nerves and a heart transplant. The story was born around this lady receiving a heart transplant. Several days after the transplant she started having memory flashbacks. Everyone has those, she began to reveal that the flashbacks she was having were unfamiliar to her. She did not know what she was seeing, whether it was a person or a place, it was not something she was personally involved in. So not too long after this, she met with the family of the donor. Then the images that she was seeing in her flashbacks began to make sense. What was happening was, she was "remembering" things, people and places from when the donor was alive. After they showed this segment, they had a Dr discuss what happened. I found it interesting that major organs in your body have the capability to "remember" and actually feel. So if someone were to break your heart, your heart actually can feel the pain and not only that, it can remember.
So if the organs can feel and remember. I can't imagine how Jesus felt when He was beaten and nailed to the cross. Because not only were we in His heart when He was crucified we were also on His mind. So i can not imagine the pain He was going through. Not only was it a physical pain but His major organs felt pain. Esp His heart I am sure as it was broken. Now that Jesus resides in my heart, it must be hard for Him to feel my hurt. Because I was on His heart and mind. Does He still feel the nails every time I fail?
Until my next post
In His grip
Mike
