Did you know that in ancient times they did not know or understand how the brain works, its function, and believed all thoughts and motivations came from the heart? When you crack open and read your Bibles, know that heart means much more than just a physical organ or a symbol for passing emotions. (here is a summary mostly from AI) It represents the entire inner core and “control center” of a human being. Ancient Hebrews did not separate thinking from feeling. The heart is where you think, reason, learn, and understand. It is the seat of deep feelings, joy, grief, and love. The heart is the place where choices, intentions, and life-defining decisions are made. It drives human action and moral character. When biblical texts speak of knowing someone’s heart, they mean knowing the complete, authentic truth of who that person is on the inside.
Lunch Box Quotes are notes I typically include in the kids’ lunches every day. Since Number 1 is off in college and Number 2 is skipping lunch now (for some reason), they both get a text, and Numbers 3 and 4 get handwritten notes on napkins.

Quotes:
1. “Much of what is called ‘social problems’ consists of the fact that intellectuals have theories that do not fit the real world. From this, they conclude that it is the real world which is wrong and needs changing.” – Thomas Sowell
2. “Being an American is something much deeper, much more deeply ingrained in us as people. And probably the fact that we can’t really define it is because it’s so deeply ingrained. It’s like asking a fish to explain what water is. It’s everything around us.” – John Doyle
3. “Discipline is when your identity is so clear, you stop negotiating with your feelings.” – Leikar Lam
4. “You aspire to great things? Begin with little ones.” – St. Augustine
Bonus Quote: “O eternal and everlasting God, I present myself this morning before thy Divine majesty, beseeching thee to accept my humble thanks ,but to daily frame me more into the likeness of thy holy son, Jesus Christ.” – George Washington…every morning.

Heads up, night owls! A partial lunar eclipse is coming.
Tomorrow night, 96% of the Moon’s face will pass into Earth’s shadow, with the partial lunar eclipse peaking around 12:12 a.m. EDT on Aug. 28.
