Besides religious phrases, what Charles Grandison Finney emphasized in his sermons is the fact that people had to make choices in their lives similar to making political decisions.
Although sometimes it can be difficult to make a decision or a right choice, still people have to do it all the time. Life is not easy, and sometimes these decisions can change everything for the person making them. Finney wanted to say that no matter how hard it is, people have to do what's right at all times.
Hi!
Since snails go really slowly, and it says "SLOWING my thoughts...", we can interpret that he/she isn't thinking of things very fast. Our brains can think things so fast, normally we don't even have to think about it. (Wow, how many times can I say 'think' in one sentence?) But he/she is having that process slowed, probably because he/she can only focus on how cold he/she is.
Hope this helps!

A filtering service could save the newspaper industry by allowing consumers to filter out the content they are not interested in.
The author says that there is SO much content online it is impossible to read it all. By creating filtering services that allow consumers to choose their content based on interests, the newspaper industry could be saved. The author says there is a demand for publishing based on an individual's preferences.
The author compares this to editing in writing -- a filtering service is just editing content.
