Miracles of Memory

mind, which is dependent upon the memory – a super-
miraculous phenomenon of nature. According to Neal
Barnard, an adjunct associate professor of medicine at
the George Washington University School of Medicine,
in Washington, D.C., “A memory is made by linking
two or more of the 100 billion nerve cells in your brain,
called neurons, then solidifying the connection so
that you can use it later.” And “your brain continues
to develop neurons and build new connections
to strengthen memory as you age, a phenomenon
called neuroplasticity,” says Brianne Bettcher, a
neuropsychology fellow at the University of California,
San Francisco, Memory and Aging Center. (Nine Ways

People talk of the great miracles of the past, like the
staff of Moses, the ring of Solomon and so on. But,
there is a miracle even greater than these which has
been bestowed by God upon every single person. This
is the miracle of the mind. If you recognize this as a
personal miracle, you will develop such a thrilling sense
of gratitude that all complaints and protests will seem
ridiculous and, moreover, superfluous. You will then
live with feelings of eternal thankfulness to God.
