This is a little something different. As I was reading and meditating on this passage, I found I had things to say about it. So here’s a devotional, as it were.

Dear brain…I hate you
I am not 100% that I’m going to publish this post. But, if you haven’t figured out yet that I’m a verbal processor, welcome. You must be new.
