The mind is a physical organ like any other, so everyone begins the slide into decay sooner than we realize. Time fools us all, that is my certainty. A life is not very long no matter how long one lives. I had an aunt who lived to be 100 but I still say very few ever get out of their nineties alive and to what point?
The Fruit of the Spirit
The spirit leaves the flesh behind. I call it being in the fox hole. I think there I will find what I really believe. My mother read John 17 every morning but it was reading Galatians 5:22 when she found herself being overwhelmed by a spiritual ecstasy from the top of her head to her shoulders. She pleaded with me to remember what she had experienced because she was afraid she was going to forget.
She did and so did I. But since I was never a chapter and verse person, I did not think I had a chance. But it was the word fruit that I pursued eventually on my hand-held computer that I found it in the phone. That one-word fruit did it. Remembering this tells me that there is a spirit in everyone and there is something coming beyond anything I'll ever ask or think. It brought a reassurance (substantively?) closer to me of the spirit within.
