Created by the talented [Link To User poulynoe]")  I am only partially back from my extended hiatus. I am trying to transition back into writing my blog. Part of the problem has been sleep disorder. I have narcolepsy which really puts me down. I get extremely sleepy and cannot think. For a long time it was fine. I'd wake up in the morning, take my narcolepsy medication, then 20 minutes later I could think straight. Then the effects of the medication began to wear off so I'd take it and sleep an additional three hours. I am starting a new medication so we will see how it goes. I have also been working throughout my waking hours. I am the full time chaplain here at the WV Veterans Home. I have four scheduled activities each week as well as the background prep for those activities. So I average 50-60 hours per week full tilt when you add in graduate school online and other activities. So I have little time for blogging. I am also selling my book Teatime and working to market it. Yesterday alone I scheduled a book signing and a reading event. Many authors believe the publishing company sells the books for them and publishing companies do advertise books and list them with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-million, etc. However, the author is required to do the bulk of the publicity and marketing. Therefore, on top of my chaplain activities I am running my own company and doing other writing work. Can anybody say "Busy, busy, busy?"  "Prompt: Proverbs 3:3-4 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.What do you think these 2 verses are saying?" I believe these verses are saying exactly what Jesus says in the New Testament. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Luke 6:31. Man was not created to put himself first. We were created to put others first. I believe that in the beginning Adam did not even eat to sustain himself. I believe he ate to sustain Eve. Then the fall came and muddled things all up. We are meant to do right by each other.  "Whispering Ghost of C.St.Ann   writes about a meditation called a so-Humm inMeditative Ohm (E)
Meditation is different things to different people. To me, it is listening to God.   |
