We can all sense that we are more than just the materials that make us up - the atoms, molecules, neuro-chemical reactions in the brain. We can feel the need for a connection at a deeper level, and that level is what we call in the Old Testament "the soul". In Psalm 42, the soul is compared to a deer, thirsty and longing to connect with God, and it need the Lord like it needs water. By Pastor Lars Hammar
