The Lizard Brain Has Imposed a No-Fly Zone Over the Cerebral Cortex

Posted on November 29, 2017 by johnrachel

Stress is bad. Here it is the time of year when we should be enjoying life, celebrating the birth of a future carpenter who would fall victim to a sting operation by the Roman secret police, make a wholly embarrassing and painful exit from the dusty scene in Jerusalem, then become the iconic figurehead of a world-class religion, and what are we doing?

After giving Him a few days R and R to get His bearings and get back up to Savior speed __ God knows what the jet lag must be coming that distance __ we’re going to sit him down to an arm wrestling contest.
