Could this also be translated...
I think therefore I do.
Our bodies respond so quickly to our brain. Sometimes we are doing things before we even think to realize that we are doing it. That my friends is powerful and also dangerous all in the same instance. Let me explain with a few questions for the road.
Have you ever said something without thinking?
Do you really think about street signs or do you just know that a yellow sign means yield?
If you have an itch, do you think "Man, my nose itches. I think I'll scratch it."
When you touch something hot, do you really have time to think about taking your hand away?
Have you ever just sat completely still for more than 30 seconds (not counting when you are in bed)?
I think therefore I do.
So if I could tame this aspect of my life...
...could I actually pray without seasing?
...could I hold my tongue and just listen instead of rambling?
...could I notice an attractive person and praise God for her beauty?
...could I train my foot to hit the breaks in my car more often for people having car trouble than when I see a police car?
I think therefore I do.
That must mean that our actions must have alot to do with what we pour into our minds. It means that even the smallest details of our life are important. It means that in any instance or circumstance we have a choice.
I think therefore I do.

Life is full of dissapointments. When you don't get the last piece of the pie, or you wake up early only to find you are out of coffee, or Taylor fails to blog for four weeks. Just a real drag.
but the good news is I am back!
Are discipline and procrastination an issue for anyone but me? I always feel like I have accomplished something when I blog and yet, I don't. Why is that. Just like a morning jog, I know that I will benefit from it and most of the time I feel better throughout the day if I do...but, I don't. So why is it that we don't do things that we know are good for us and know that we will feel good about ourselves if they are accomplished? I don't get it. It doesn't take that much time and effort, and yet to the back burner. Any Suggestions?
