That small switch inside of us
A revelation from Rio Bautista
When I was in college, we'd only have 3-4 school days and I'd spend my non-school-days at the Jefferson Library. And it's only because I enjoyed the smell, the quiet and the cool a/c. I'd spend the whole day watching videos and reading the yellow-pages of the different states in the US. Eventually, I got into reading the books in the libraray (which proves that simply being exposed to the library for so long will make you want to read books).
Anyway, the first book that caught my curiosity was this book "The Binary Brain". This was the book that got me into computers. I got so passionate about computers, I dropped all my other subjects and focused on computers (reason why I only graduated 20 years later).
The Binary Brain, was a book about Artificial Intelligence so it talks a lot about the similarities between how our minds think and how computers work.
Like a computer, our minds are filled with "switches" that goes on or off. Sub-microscopic tissues that trigger one another to process information and eventually causing a muscle to move.
What I'd like to share is how a simple difference between 1 and 0 can decide the fate of one man if not mankind.
There is a little-switch in all of us that makes us who we are. Some take this for granted until faced with a situation that calls for judgment. Some will use it so often to know that he's in control of himself. Others fear even touching the switch to avoid accountability.
The switch is there whether you are aware of it or not . Becoming aware of it will be the first step to taking control of yourself and your world.
If you really think about it. Our biggest blunders in life could all have been avoided had we taken control of our self. Had we not let pride, pain or satisfaction lock our switch into making a bad move. The idea of an "automatic" life can be no less than tempting and that's how many of us chose to live. Programmed by the world to do this or that when faced with this or that. It's almost understandable. I mean, if you grew up in the world with everybody around telling you what's right or wrong, or what to do when this or that happens, you'd be pretty much programmed to behave as you do today. We learn. But what fails us is when we loose our "self" and put our lives in "auto" mode. When our "will" takes a back-seat, we loose control. We become robots, zombies moving about, reacting automatically to what the sensors detect.
We often forget that above that switch is our will, our conviction, our future and not the situation nor the world that should turn our switch for us. And for those who chose to follow God, they gained the honor of having God turn their switch for them.
When you find yourself in a situation that you know you're not supposed to be in. When you know something not right is making a mess of you. Consider looking back. There just might be something keeping your will from making the right move. Check your heart, loose your pride, loose your bitterness, forget about the pain and remember that a simple flick of a switch can turn your life around.

Isaac's Wells
Finding Opportunities in a land of famine
By Ptr. Derrick Anselmo
We must understand, as Isaac does, that the blessing is not the thing or opportunity before us. The blessing is us. Isaac recognized that the blessing was not on the land that he planted on, but rather it was on him. That HE WAS THE BLESSING. He was the reason why opportunities continue to come even though others passed or were grabbed from him.
This is a season of “famine” in the
Genesis 26:1 – 6 1Now there was a famine in the land – besides the earlier famine of Abraham’s time – and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to
It was a time like ours. Due to the famine, everyone was migrating to
