This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

Helping Others "Feels" Right
Why does it feel right when we help other people? I read recently that acts in which we help others, stimulate the reward centers in our brain, the nucleus accumbens & the caudate nucleus, then we feel good. That’s probably true. But consider this: Jesus was a servant. He helped others. When we help others we are being like Christ. Since that is one of the primary purposes for which we were created, it FEELS right.
