For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,...For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, ...so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE: Col 1:16 / Rom.1:20

Your Thought Highway

I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are Thy works;
Psalm 139:14

"Have you ever wondered how your brain creates thoughts or why something randomly popped into your head? 
....actually the brain is like a supercomputer inside your head that helps you think, learn and make decisions.

The
neuron is a key player in the brain – these are tiny cells that send
and receive signals and messages so they can communicate with each other.
Your brain has somewhere between 80 billion and 100 billion neurons.
Neurons tend to group together to form neural tracts, which would be like the streets and highways in the city
When you have a thought, neurons in your brain fire up and create electrical impulses. These impulses tend to travel along similar pathways and release tiny chemicals called neurotransmitters along the way.

These neurotransmitters are like the construction crew that builds
the roads
.....You can imagine it as a dirt road, but as more traffic – that is,
neuron signals – travel the dirt road, the road gets upgraded to a paved street. If the traffic continues, it gets upgraded to a highway.

That’s why practice and repetition are important for improving your skills, whether playing the piano or learning a language. Neural networks are created and then strengthened the more times they communicate together. Scientists have a saying in this field: “Neurons that fire together wire together.”

The brain also stores memories, which are like files in a computer that you can access whenever you need them.
Creativity is another superpower of the brain. When you let your imagination run wild, your brain can come up with new ideas, stories and inventions.

The brain is a fascinating organ that works tirelessly to create thoughts, memories and ideas."
