Notes - definition and meaning

       Almost noon local time and you just completed your fourth day of forty-minute exercises this week. – Amorella

       Late afternoon. You had an excellent lunch at Longhorn on Tylersville and Jen was your server. Carol had salmon and you had steak. Presently you are at Kroger’s on Tylersville after another trip, returning to pick up a water filter for the refrigerator at Sears Appliances at the VOA Centre.

       1725 hours. After lunch I was going to work on Grandma 14 but I’m reading the new Consumer’s Report that arrived today instead. I have had a lot of hits from Russia this week and I don’t know why. A couple of months ago I had many hits from Japan I can’t imagine what people are reading in here. The hits rarely if ever hit on my Stats report rather than on Goggle posts stats. I don’t mine one way or the other but I am curious as to why the national/cultural groupings rise and lower periodically as they do. Yesterday I was thinking on the heartansoul and how they could be individually or together evolutionary. That is, how could they change? In terms of metaphysics it reminds me of how, in the old days, people said Angels could change (fall from Grace) even though they are supposedly immortal. It comes down to immortal and eternal I suppose.  The dictionary definition is first followed by  examples from the thesaurus.

        2135 hours. The above definitions give strong examples showing my inability to reason the difference between immortal and eternal. Somewhere within my heartansoulanmind I discern a difference.

       From where I observe, boy, the difference is found in the soul alone. The heart and mind are immortal; the soul is eternal. For all intents and purposes human, the soul is without beginning and end; the heart and mind are less and thus immortal. – Amorella
