Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15,16

From Joanna:

Emotional Atrophy

I remember when our son broke his leg when he was younger. It was broken so severely that he was off his feet for quite some time. The pain of the process developed a fear in him when he began walking again after recovery. Because of the pain and mental block, it became a struggle for him to get back up again. He had so many mental blocks to plow through. There were many moments of exhaustion as he started to walk again. He had to retrain his brain to make all the needed connections for movement. The moment in the whole process that shocked me the most were the tears shed when they removed the cast. He cried for them to keep it on. That cast had become a form of protection to prevent any more pain. The removal was a reminder of the risks now involved. Would the leg be okay? I'm sure the pain of the break was etched in his brain. How could it not be?

Word for Word

Take it from a former English teacher, the English language is weird. It is a conglomeration of words from different languages, a stew of rules and vocabulary and conjugations. And, like most things, all languages change over time. One reason they may change is from influences from other languages. Old English began to change in 1066 when the British Isles were invaded by William the Conqueror of Normandy. The years of French influence changed not only vocabulary but even the sounds used in pronunciation. Then came Middle English (think the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales) which morphed again into something much closer to our modern English, even though it was used by Shakespeare more than 400 years ago.
