1 Peter 1:13 (KJB)
Gird up the loins of your mind.

 

 

Who knew? Another verse demonstrating the intersection of the horizontal and vertical planes.cross

Gird up, anazónnumi in Greek: from aná, “up to down” and  zṓnnymi, “gird,” as in take out the slack, get ready to move quickly.

Mind, dianoia: diá, “from side-to-side,” and noús, “mind,” as in considering a matter from one side of an issue to the other to reach a balanced conclusion.

Unencumbered and ready for intense concentration. Sounds like the mind of Christ to me.bless mind

    Yeah, maybe Jesus’ mind. I gotta give the hamster that powers mine a pot of coffee before he even LOOKS at the wheel.

    And then he gets distracted and falls off.

      Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made (John 1:3). The mind of Christ is behind every coffee bean, and I am grateful.
