It’s been said that children are little adults with their heads full of mush.  But I remember when my head was nothing but mush.  I thought I had a brain.  But I didn’t.   It was just a container of giggly mush.  And I ran around in this world thinking so very highly of myself.  What a fool!  And certainly someone to laugh at if I hadn’t been so angry and antagonistic all the time.  I guess that’s why most of us laugh at men like I used to be behind their backs. 

Life has a way of slapping us around a bit.  In general, the process causes that mush to cook, stew, and bake.  The hopeful end of man is that he will eventually get a real brain out of the process.  And left to his own devices, man will likely gain something positive out of his experiences of life.  Yet I know a way to quick bake a brain.

It seems our head is microwaveable.  I mean, we can endure specific beams of truth that will cause us to mature a whole lot faster.  This is the work of God through the Holy Spirit within us.  He points out the truth in our experiences and causes our conscience to come to boil.  Wanna grow up a lot faster than most?  Allow Jesus to take charge of your life.  Listen to what you hear in regard to what is true.  Do what you know you must.  And just sit in front of His Holy Fire and bake a while.
