I was 11 when my parents decided to reconcile. We headed out as a family to the Maritimes where most of us were born.
We visited my grandmother and the next day decided to head over to my uncle’s farm. That unfortunate day, seven of us piled into the station wagon and headed along a road my dad had driven most of his young life. He didn’t see the newly placed stop sign and as we went through the intersection, we hit the oncoming car.

Onlookers said our car spun around three times and each time people flew out onto the ground. There were no seat belts. All seven of us were injured, some more seriously than others.
For years afterward, whenever I came to a stop sign I would tense up. That morning I didn’t see the car, but my subconscious mind registered it and left me with a memory. This is the immense capability of our minds. All that we see and experience is stored in our database and we are affected whether we know it or not.
God’s word says we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Without that renewal we live out memories often that become the dictators of our soul. Our direction and choices need truth and purity and God promises to give us just that.
