Recently my wife Melanie, my son Jordon and I attended the LoveLife Seminar in Gainesville at the Harn Performing Arts Center. The speaker was Mark Driscoll from Seattle, Washington, founder of the Mars Hill Church. Mark and his wife Grace led a day long open and frank discussion of sexuality to over 1400 young adults.
One of the topics that struck me were the neuro pathways we create, be it watching pornography or engaging in other addicting behaviors. The more we engage, the deeper the pathway becomes, until the rut is so deepened, we sadly cannot escape. It is by much grace and difficulty that be turn and attempt to create new pathways, away from the destruction of the paths we have etched.
In observing these well traveled cattle paths, I thought of the pathways I have dug and those I am attempting, with the Grace of God, to dig anew.
